A beautiful poem, kindly written for this image by my good friend, David Roman. Please visit David’s site and view his beautiful art.
David Roman

“The sky lies there before our eyes the world is out there too.
All that I see is a bright new life with you beside me, my wife.
I look at you and say lets go and find a brand new world.
An you my ever thoughtful half say lets stay here, where we are.
We have a life just you an I and all that we have here.
Why venture out to look for more when all we need is here?
Look out my love what do you see out beyond your dreams.
Its you and I an all we need and thats not very far.
Just look at what you want to leave, will you find that in a far off land?
Will sky’s be filled with so much blue like sky’s before my eyes?
Will we have all that we need like we have right here.
Like comfort in the love of family an from all our friends?
Built on years of trust and tears you’d leave that my dear?
Or will we have to search for friends in a place unknown.
I dare not venture out to seek a better land than this, an leave our friends behind.
When all I need is you my love and all that we have here!”
