Laural

seen by Dion

When I share with you with what I have to give

you are like a daughter.

When you cook for me and open your hearth for me

you are like a mother.

When we struggle with our families together 

you are like a sister.

When we go places and just talk together

I know our love to be

the love of life long friends.

 

***

 

When you were eight years old I married your mother.

I said and felt these words at the wedding -

Laural as I look to the mountains I will look to you.

As I marry your mother I love you.

Sometimes I will be like a father to you as I love the mountains. 

Sometimes there with you - sometimes at a distance.

I will always love you.
