Creation
is the proper form of love, Opening a new universe to Being. Nor will not love renew the act of seeing, Given what the passing years will
prove. Remember well what service you must
render As laborers in a vineyard not your
own. The life that you have made is but on
loan, Underwritten by a well-heeled lender. Let it then be yours this little
while, And lavish it unstintingly with joy, The grace no later demons can
destroy, Inheritance no fortune can defile. Out of who you are comes what you do: Now both of you live well for more than
two, So that with love you may new life
beguile.
