Wedding Vows3

June 27, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since June is a popular month for weddings, that is this week’s theme.

Today’s poem is a set of wedding vows.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

BRIDE OR GROOM

Strange how just one moment can

Determine a whole life,

One choice create a family,

One rite a man and wife.

GROOM OR BRIDE

Strange how just these few, brief words

I say today to you

Bind one soul to another,

Make one life out of two.

BRIDE OR GROOM

But so do we take charge of time

And make it all our own,

Joining years together in

A marriage and a home.

GROOM OR BRIDE

And so do we take charge of life

By choosing love each day,

For passions come and passions go,

But love is here to stay.

BRIDE AND GROOM TOGETHER

Marriage vows are promises

We make both to each other

And to ourselves, that we might share

A fragment of forever;

A bit of Eden’s innocence

Behind a wall of will,

For though the wide world turn to dust,

I will love you still.
