DEBBIE LUOMA

             But yield who will to their separation,

             My object in living is to unite

My avocation and my vocation

As my two eyes make one in sight.

Only where love and need are one,

And the work is play for mortal stakes,

Is the deed ever really done

                For Heaven and the future’s sakes.

       “Two Tramps in Mud Time” Robert Frost
