Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for a visit.

Weathered in cold, rain and snow
Aged in the hot summer sun
Waiting to be reclaimed

Cut down, worn, nailed through the heart
Then sanded smooth in new understanding

For the provincial, rustic, yet firm
Helpmeet, partner, lover of mine
Did our love adapt, conform?
