Let Us Both Now Try To Gather All The Shards Which Are Undone Poem by Gabriel SimpsonLaw

Let us both now try to gather all the shards which are undone
Put the caustic past behind us with thought to when we were as one
See the poisoned clouds above us dissipate into the night
Stand with me inside the circle of God’s all enfolding light

Bury deep the bitterness within a barrow built of pain
No marker let the barrow bear lest we should visit here again
Ahead though sadness oft may follow, keep this path we both shall blaze
Fearless we may walk together ‘til the ending of our days

And in quieter times remember all that forged us - made us man
All that challenged or beset us - tried to snare us as we ran
Stronger then we held together, stronger now as we achieve
All that we once dreamed together, then life’s rewards shall we receive
