They Said We'd Never Make It

June 9, 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 for the renewal of vows.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

They said we'd never make it,
But now we've come this far.
Today we celebrate our love
And honor who we are.

We had a hard beginning,
Adults before our time.
But growing up together made
Our deepest roots entwine.

You are my life, my love, my hope,
My friend, my world, my song,
The mirror of my unseen heart,
The place where I belong.

And as our one life passes,
Through love we live for two:
A cornucopia of joy
That we this day renew.
