LIVING OUR LIVES LOVINGLY As Love Makes A Way Forward Through All Our Coming Days Twilight arrives as a reward For a day of working hard Through the heat of a long afternoon To reach a goal we had to achieve. We sit in our secret garden, Hidden from the view Of the outer world By a tall wood fence— Awash with an inner peace That can only be attained Through doing what needs To be done with a cheerful, Loving and persistent attitude. The gathering night air Is sweet with the smell of jasmine Flowers as the old day passes And the evening smooths out With a gentle cooling breeze Kissing our cheeks and Inviting the first stars to dance As we simply lay back, Next to each other, holding Hands in the silence Where words would only Diminish the profound meaning Of our “sweet time” together. There will be more hot days Of heavy work ahead As the summer advances For there is always plenty of Things which need doing That call incessantly to us, Urgently asking to be done… But this evening is ours To simply be together and Let everything else go as we Quietly celebrate the love Which keeps on growing Like a radiant full moon rising Within our hearts and the faith That we are where we are meant To be in the grand scheme of things, Taking each moment as it comes, Present for the golden gifts and grace Of living our lives lovingly as love Keeps on making a way forward For us day by precious day.
