Made Our Mark
look here at this one — here's another
they carved their names — it's a heart
lines etched so deep — an arrow here
look at these lines — lives so deep
feel these marks — touch this groove
lovingly sketched — we were here
this was their bench — their place
initials scratched — years embossed
hours embedded — tears soaked in
creases — so many wrinkles
birds we fed here - sang with them
how many crows feet — grew here?
the golden hue — now gray
even the stains — fading
we whittled away — made our mark
and they made us — feel these hands
