Grace and light

The wild rose--------------
-
Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart.
Suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose blooming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only a shade,
and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.

Den förste november firar jag och Rickard 5 år tillsammans. Tänk, det känns inte som om det var så länge sedan vi var sjutton år och höll varandra i handen, strosandes genom skogen den där stjärnklara natten..

TRANSLATION

The 1st of November me and Rickard celebrates five years as a couple. It felt like it was yesterday we were seventeen and held hands walking through the forest with the stars twinkling in the night sky..
