For my wife, Sue

Everything is Rosie in the garden

The touch of her hand is everywhere

covering all the ground

nurturing the native

gathering in the orphan

weeding out the evil

feeding the strugglers

watering the thirsty

tough-loving the growth

leaving space

weaving magic

sewing hope

visioning dreams

picturing flight

staking the future

creating legacy

building the earth

and loving the lost.
