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
