Love means more when life is hard And choices lead to sacrifice, And every passion has its price In duties paid and windows barred. Though I have loved for many years, Love is still for me a spring That will from stone sweet fragrance bring, And make a garden of our tears. The love of children, children's children, Flowing to the distant verge, Flowing from the ancient urge To make a home of wilderness, Has been my joy, my inner dance Of ecstasy, as day by day I move the mountains in my way And claim through love the gifts of chance.
