Affinity

On January 14th 2012 my son Frank was married to the love of his life Kay. It was a beautiful ceremony, and a blessing and a gift to me. I love Kay as if she were my own daughter. I wish both of them the very best. This poem was handed to me hand written by a young man whom I don't know, and whom I have never met again. I didn't get his name. He apparently had memorized it and then handed it to me written out by hand. So I thought for years that he had written it. I have looked before for this poem with no luck until today. 

Apparently, this poem is written by the author Dora Greenwell. It's called "Home". It is still fitting. I have looked this up before with no luck. This time this is what I came across. The author has a 'pen' name... and the poem goes by another name as well. Still a great poem. "Within One Nest" by Amarin Rose 
I would have called it Affinity because of the meaning of the word. 

Two birds within one nest,

Two hearts within one breast.

Two spirits within ONE fair,

firm league of love and prayer.

Together bound, you agree.

Together blessed.

An ear that waits to catch,

a hand upon the latch.

A step that hastens

it is sweet rest to win.

A world of care without.

A world of strife shut out.

A world of Love shut in.
