Families Are the Girders Underneath

October 21, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is marriage.

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

A poem about how by creating families, marriages long outlast both husband and wife:

Families are the girders underneath
All the brick and mortar of our lives.
Marriages will rarely end in death:
In sons and daughters long they hold their breath,
Lingering far past the men and wives,
Yet heard in great-great grandchildren's joy and grief.
