Nate and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on February 17th. He is the poet in the family, but one day in the middle of an afternoon nap, a poem came to me and I shared it with him for his anniversary gift. We are richly blessed by our land, and our slice of Heaven right here in Wagram, North Carolina. I hope you enjoy my poem, too.
Our Land
by Amanda Toyer Crew
Standing on our land
Listening to the symphony of nature's band
I feel peace and tranquility
The Universe has lead us to this legacy
Hidden magic in the woods
Carving paths she understood
Honoring her history
she signs relief that her land will remain a mystery
Children's laughter abounds
Chimes making a glorious sound
Such wonder all around
Souls connected through the dirt
We wipe away tears of joy with our shirt
For together, hand-in-hand,
we promise to always love this land
Until next time.
Love, Dr. Amanda
