This Is a Second Marriage for Us Both

June 7, 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 a second marriage.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

This is a second marriage for us both,

And yet we are the soul mates of our lives.

Sometimes it's a while till love arrives,

Though we may watch it sail along the coast.

Sometimes we fail to understand that pain

Can be a journey to a sunlit shore.

We never know what suffering is for,

Or when we lose, what treasures we might gain.

And so I'm grateful now that I am free

To join my life with yours. I would not change

One moment of my past, or rearrange

The shining chain that brings your love to me.
