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
