In The Valley (of my beloved)
the land is laid bare

the soil is singing a song of praise
for here will fall the manna of greens

the shepherd has prepared this plain
the river runs clean and overflows
the grass don't wither, they grow tall
the sheep abound and in health, roams

to the north of this, i find a place
generously sheltered by a towering mountain
lovingly embraced by the sea
and always awakened by the kiss of the sun

through my walk of leisure on stones and sands
comes a private little cove
lying quaint is a garden of incredible blooms
made glorious by a cacophony of leveling falls

the trees rustled in the humming breeze
orchestrated is music far more than just for ease
the birds fly in symphony of heights and notes
even the sky is played in the echoes of Van Gogh

Here is a rock to where i am building my house
to withstand the storm and remain guarded over trebles
i have gathered woods and letters are woven in
enlightening and warming, fire shall burn in hearth

in this chateau, i choose my man
strong in hand and brave in faith
will create a home blessed with more than best
raised in promise that is never displaced

in this valley, sketched by a father's vision& heart
photographed and captured by a mother's love
my child shall spring in beauty and grace
of untiring belief in picturesque hopes and dreams

here, one becomes an artist and we are one.
for there never is a land more endowed
than a land of painted and exhibited prose.
the faithful has waited and the Lord has given.
