Tenacity and Love

Through a mundane world we plod

inspired by the mind of God.

with a cosmic consciousness

conjoined by our happiness.

Our joy is a tenacious glue

which has bonded me to you.

Our love is the crop we grow

in the garden which we know.

Its close familiarity

fertilizes our ecstasy.

But we do have to work at it,

its growth is not automatic.

What we give is what will return,

a love which we all have to earn.
