Heaven-Sent Poem by Doris Cornago

We walk slow, same as the beat of our hearts

You smile as you watched a bird at rest

The maple tree in the middle of your yard

Reflects your stability and hugeness of heart...


An arched rainbow blinks in the distance

Nothing but us who see it and gaily dance

Are you brave not having battled in the field

But more magnificent is you loved unafraid...


Watching you surrounded with grandkids

All of my doubt goes away with the seeds

That you planted among roses in the field

We draw one step closer, pulling out weeds...


Someone could have died waiting for you

But you are here, at the ship’s prow

Stones you have arranged in a neat row

Now glistened whitely, taking a bow...


Time froze as silently still we walk together

You are steadfast as together we gather

Let us not let anything mar these moments

When after all, shared thoughts are heaven-sent...
