Acceptance by Karen Kelsay

Like trees that shade a path and intertwine
to form a summer arch that guards the walk
where daffodils and buttercups recline
while leaning by the sycamore to talk,
our days are linked with laughter, love and sorrow,
always embracing gently as they spread.
Small buds enhance the pathways of tomorrow
by flourishing in shade from overhead.
And when chill winds, careering from the east,
make summer turn away her golden face
and greenery and blossoms all have ceased,
our graceful winter boughs will interlace.

Lovely. It is a song. I love the sort og nostalgia that comes through the moment.
