No wonder why

Yesterday we worked in the garden

Until late on in the day

Mowing grass, pulling weeds

At a distance, yet together


Midway we paused for a salad

A quiche, a cup of tea

Glasses of chilled white wine

With sparkling iced water


Later, after or just on darkness

Before the faded light

After a rest, after a shower we loved together

In our own fresh made bed, like lovers do


We did not go to church yesterday

Although the day before

There had been I must say

Another kind of wedding


Saying kind words, encouraging laughter

Placing confetti around the cake

Naming two children; giving a name

A bond for their lifetime's yet to be made


Yesterday we sat in the garden

Under the mid-evening sky

No more to wonder why

Why we, and they, are so so lovingly in love
