The most remembered Day of my Life
I awoke early that morning as Venus is fading from dawn's sky. Watching sun rays skate upon the mirror of ripples,gently flowing by. On the deck of a Princess ship, suspended between the Heaven and the sea. The mirage of a double Sunrise,as the sun shone upon itself and me. Today is the day I say "I DO", take thee as my Wife: for the Eons of Eternity. Bible in hand, the captain stands in Dress Whites, as does his loyal crew. Arm and arm with daddy,as he gives her unto me; to start a life of Love anew. Her emerald eyes try hiding behind a transparent Pure White vail; only to fail Her auburn hair is dancing below her shapely hips: I long to kiss her Rosa lips Do YOU take this woman"Lenore Ellen Adams" as Your Always and Forever Wife. I Do echos across the Caribbean Sea. I Do reverberates in the bright Blue sky. "I DO" Inspired by Dan Kearley's Contest :"One Of Your Greatest Days Dedicated in Loving Memory of "My LIFE, My LOVE, My FOREVER, MY WIFE "Lenore Ellen (Adams) Johnson - Nov. 4, 1951 - August 25, 1971

Love is pain, my friend. The more pain, the greater love. That is no consolation. But be glad to feel it because her memory resides in your heart. That is her new home until the day you and Lenore are together again. Peace my brother, for I am no liege lord.

The beautiful Caribbean Sea must have been a fantastic wedding. I all dreamt of a military wedding it just never came to be. Thanks for the read.
