build a spot for love
to gather and swirl and flow
with your friends and family
in this house
start beautifully growing together
from this rich perfect pot
that you have assembled
your parents have instilled in you
the wisdom it took
to do what you have done
imagine their proud thoughts today
lovely thoughtful children
who will teach the same to theirs
keeping alive the human spirit
in a world increasingly impersonal
contagiously spreading love
through strong roots
