in the morning
when the sunlight coaxes us awake,
i will sing with you.
as the soft orange light dances
in the window,
i will offer you my hand,
my compassion, my love, my devotion
in the afternoon
when it is time to set the seeds
all in a row,
i will laugh with you.
as the roots of the garden plants
take hold,
i will share with you my joy,
my curiosity, my spirit.
in the evening
when the warm air has turned cool,
i will promise to be faithful.
as the colored leaves gently drift
toward mother earth,
i will give you my trust,
my sorrows, my mistakes, my tears.
and at night
when the white of the moon
touches our hair,
i will comfort you and hold you close.
as the whisper of death
marks our shadows,
i will pray with you, and once again
give you my heart,
my hopes, my dreams.
stay with me
marry me today
