To all who have joined Nancy and I on this path

have showered us with support and food and kindness

and lent us your strength so that we might conserve ours

You have asked, what are our feelings?

And we have summoned words in an attempt to honor your question

But words do not reveal what we find best in silence

So please join us there if only for a single moment

and you will know all we might share

and there together we can bring light

to what we are only beginning to understand
