My Unmade Wish
By Rich Reith  (Inspired by a walk Frogner Park in Olso)









Soft grass neath our feet
Stars in our eyes
A fresh new world of possibilities unfolding before us.
Hand in hand,
we walk among the statues.







We grant them life
We proclaim to them our love.
As I gently settle you down in the grass
you sigh,
and our delight fills the air,
fills our hearts,
builds a cosmos of passion...
Love brings rebirth
mending all that life has broken
making us whole,
once again.






Now from sunrise to sunset
I realize how blest I am
As I contemplate the night sky
I get lost in thoughts of you.
You are the sun to my flower,
The rain to my roots -
My unmade wish come true
