A Poem for Two plus One

Come away, sweet love,
the golden morning breaks.
We cherish the beauty
and wonder of new life.
Laugh at its surprises,
love as leaves dance in wild winds.
We rejoice in nature's elegance,
mix our souls in mutual bliss.

Come away, sweet love,
we two envision eternal passion.
Delight in hummingbird wings,
sunrises of rubies and gold.
Power of magnificent seas
all given for us to behold.
All this and promises to come.

Come away, sweet love,
we have created James,
a miracle, son of Autumn.
He will be strong and beautiful.
Like the oak stands firm,
losing its outer coat of lush colors,
always confident of magnificent
changes to come.
