Two people found love
Transformed love over time
Turning hardships into roses
Teardrops into calm waters
Bright smiles reflected in sunshine
Erasing and replacing themselves
Until every bit of canvas
Made room for something new

Two people found love
Two lives intertwining
Outlining peaks and valleys
Trees and endless roots
Smudge marks
Reflecting sweat beads
Sore limbs
The fruit of their labor

Two people found love
Signed by God
Sketch lines penetrating space
Turning imagination
Into truth
As colors stands still

In all their painting
They were remaking
Their best selves
You.
