A few 'Until then' moments of my week as Grandma and Child caregiver...
Until the curtain falls
On all the plans we made
As One greater than duty calls
And dust to dust is laid
Until we reach the place
Where you and I must part
And what was once love’s face-to-face
Must remain heart-to-heart
Until both good and ill
No longer cheer or test
Replies of fury or goodwill
Of motives cursed or blessed
Until our longings fade
Like daylight into dark
And life follows the airborne grade
As surely as a spark
Until no brook-or-lane
No school-girls dream-and-play
No let-the-boy-not-wish-in-vain
For love to come his way
Until there is no ‘yet’
No spring-tide of new birth
No autumn colored pirouette
Of leaf wafting to earth
Until then, let’s just love
Before time’s toll is stilled
And we fold like an empty glove
Of numbered days fulfilled
