(painting by Alice Campbell)
The roots are shallow and tender now
Like an acorn planted in the spring
With time the tap root grows
And the first leaves come to life
As time passes, the roots grow longer
Like love burrowing deeper into the heart
Becoming resistant to upsets big and small
Able to survive the harsh weather of daily life
Like the small acorn growing into a majestic oak
The heart grows every day
With the nourishment we give to each other
With time and talk and love
The acorn holds so much promise
Promise of a magnificent tree
The heart holds promise also
Of a good life together
(Yes Steve is in love with a wonderful woman!)
