And so we bond

And so we bond

A Poem by Wandering Minstrel
"

Written for my wife 25 years ago on our wedding day

"
 

These diamonds clasped by metal
on your third finger are meshed
and so we bond together
precious stones, and gold, to flesh,
Flesh that I have held to be
so precious since we met,
as two souls swear to each   
their everlasting allegiance
Families gathered, tear stained faces
all have stood here too,
friends and siblings also touched
for soon their time is due.
girls all dreaming of their dream man,
guys all wiping sweat,
grateful that they aren't the groom,
as they envy what he gets.
Preacher says some scary things
on all that God expects,
some of those pewbound, feel guilt,
cause they left the homes they wrecked.
Outside cars go rushing by
a thousand lives enroute,
to lives that started just this way,
it's what love is all about.
When those sweet words of "kiss the bride,"
are uttered then we'll share,
a kiss like none we've known before,
that simply says, "I'm there."
I'm there through times of sorrow,
and I'm there in days of joy,
I'll hold your hand when you deliver,
our first girl or boy,
I'll cook you all my favorite things,
dab ketchup from your face,
we'll find a cozy little house,
that we can call "our place."
let's never fight when days are cold,
or when the sky is sunny,
if anger ever rears it's head,
we'll whisper..."Love you honey.
Someday we'll stand up here again,
and watch our children say,
the many words of love that we
have both shared on this day.
There's cake to smear,
flowers to toss, and
fun at our reception,
some rocking tunes
our honeymoon,
and some day a conception.
It started here in lace and veils,
with a long white gown, and tux,
And "hon, you look so handsome,
think I'm gonna cry, Oh shucks!"
Soon we'll hear the rattle of tin cans
as we limo off to a life,
full of love, great hope and many plans,
we'll share as man and wife.

"The amount that I love you, right now
would fit in the corner of my eye....................My tears.
