Yesterday we worked in the garden
Until late on in the evening
Mowing grass, pulling weeds
At a distance, yet together
Midway we paused for a salad
A quiche, a cup of tea
Glasses of white wine
Sparkling chilled water
Later, or just on darkness
Before the end of faded light
After a rest, a shower, and in
Our own fresh made bed
We loved together, as lovers do
Who do not always go to church
For the day before had been
Another kind of wedding
Kind words, encouraged laughter
Confetti placed around the cake
Named two children; each given a name
A bond for their lifetime's yet to be made
Yesterday we sat in the garden
Under the mid night sky
No wonder why, we and they
Believe in the place of love
