Kathy and Joe
my parents are in love
with our leaking roof
with each other, with the moon
my parents are in love
with our pine-straw driveway
with the world, with the way I see it
my parents are in love
with the holes in the tapestry
with their thread and needles, with what might be
my parents are in love
with a God they know is listening
with the grace, with the love he gives in every passing year
and my parents are in love
and I thank the earth and the sky and the God I seek
for that
and for as long as it remains true
I will find solace in it.
