Inwardly, she cried
for the picture before her
(so out of focus that it was)
could not even begin to portray
the wonder of the moment
forever captured in her heart.
But, ah! in her heart,
there, the picture remains
fresh and clear,
the sentiment still breathtaking,
the magnetic energy still warm and powerful,
the excitement still fluttering like butterfly wings,
and the blossom of tomorrow’s garden still tender to fruit.
Look beyond focus and behold the true picture of love.
