Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is weddings.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A wedding poem from the bride to her mother:
As I wait at the head of the aisle
On Dad's arm, about
to be wed,
I remember the light
of your smile
In the days when I still
was a child,
And you kissed me
goodnight in my bed.
And I think, as I
wait by the aisle,
Of an innocent world
without guile,
An Eden where
goodness is bred:
Lit by the light of
your smile,
A place where one
tarries awhile,
Sheltered from sorrow
and dread.
I wait by the head
of the aisle
With a gift that no
years can defile,
A beauty no winter
can shed.
And I walk in the
light of your smile
To a life that was
mine all the while,
And a love that is
just as you said:
A love that waits
down the aisle
For the warmth and
the light of my smile.
