Getting Married Means You'll Have

June 6, 2017

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 the theme for this week.

Today’s poem is a wedding poem from a child’s point of view.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Getting married means you'll have

Someone's hand to hold,

Even when you're feeling sick,

Even when you're old.

It means when you sit down to eat,

Someone will be there,

So you won't have to tell your day

To an empty chair.

It means that you can have some kids

Just like a mom and dad,

And play with them all afternoon,

Except when they are bad.

It means that when you need some help,

Someone will help out,

Someone always near to you

So you won't have to shout.

But best of all is when it's time

To turn out all the lights:

You won't have to be alone

Those long and scary nights.

So even though you don't have toys,

You don't have to care:

Once you're married you can be

Each other's teddy bear!
