Near the Lion’s rock

Stands a Sycamore tree

With carvings of romance

Initialed in its trunk

A deep jagged heart

Engulfs two letters

Against the white of

Exposed bark

Year after year

It withers not

Through summer’s drought

Or winter’s cold

This living testament of love

Carved by two unknown lovers

Does beg one to wonder

If the love so artfully depicted

Has also endured the test of time?

The concentration on romance so often these days neglects preparation for the work needed to endure the test of time of two imperfect people working through their imperfections irritating each other at times! (Often much money and thought spent on preparing an exotic wedding, but still little on preparation for a life together.) Rhiannon
