you were the adventure
nothing short of amazing
a dazzling force of nature
the experience destiny
placed in my pathway
exquisitely timed for the
moment this boy reached
outside of himself into
precincts of heart unfamiliar
uncertain and oh so seductive
you were the adventure
allowed me along for the ride
our exploits were legend
our crossings and climbings
impetuous driven by wonder
replete with discoveries
little regretting the choices
or accidents marking our way
to this place of our rest and
reflection and gratified prayer
When such a poem of love is ‘complete’ there is little the reader can say other than ‘bravo’!
