Poem
A Unique Wedding Ring BRIDES have wedding rings so lovely: in all colors, some with precious stones, But you may not have mine, it's too unique. BRIDES really are their Husband's sunshine. in dresses traditional or new. But I was married wearing a raincoat, Love makes the vows, not the dress. Eloping is an adventure, I would happily repeat. We drove over two thousand miles to wed. And it wasn't in the heat. It was a raging blizzard in Chicago that January night. I was leaving my dog behind, my friend for many years, He was jumping and yelping, and oh, I could not hold back my tears.U He watched us pull away, he seemed to be in fear. I can still see his brown eyes shining, And it still brings back new tears. The drive was long and treacherous, The car broke down in the Great Divide. I wondered if I had made the right decision. But~ we were on an our unstoppable love mission! We finally reached our sunny destination. I loved the Cable Cars, what a sensation! The weather, so very perfect, it was time to buy the ring. We were not holding tons of cash, but love surpasses things so crass. That ring with no stones or precious metals, it really had no bling. This BRIDE'S ring most unusual. It cost a whole sixty seven cents, and placed in a brown paper bag. I could not wait to wear it! But in City Hall,once married, that glorious moment! When my husband slipped that ring on my finger. How awesome. Decades have past, my husband has with them. I have lost and misplaced many things. But that sixty-seven cent ring never gets lost. Stores like Woolworth's maybe gone Replaced by big barn type stores and chains. But I'd rather have small ones back!! Life has become far too impersonal and strange. And so~ I can put on my ring, close my eyes, And see my husband, no not on the internet, but reading poetry to me! Seems I have come full circle. now! Decades after my marriage vow! Thank you, beloved wedding ring, and to the poetic husband I once had. Panagiota Romios 4/21/2019
