There are monuments, statues, writings and poems of devotion...
Some etched in stone, others sculpted in marble, many inked upon a page...
' I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always be yours.'
Jane Austen - Sense and Sensibility
or alas scribbled on a scrap of paper.
Devotion is an attachment; sometimes exclusive... it is endless, timeless...
A dedication of loyalty to a belief, a child or a lover...
May this day find your heart filled with such promise...
* Monument in honour of 1st Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada
John Graves Simcoe 1752-1806 and his devoted wife Elizabeth Posthuma Gwillim Simcoe 1762-1850 located at Navy Hall in Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.
