Notes About The Poem

Fragile Hearts Contest

Advice For the Bride and Groom

Forgiveness is key.
Remember this:
Agree to disagree, and you’ll
Get along fine. Say
I love you often.
Leave room for the other to breathe.
Each night go to bed with a kiss.

Hear each other! Listen intently!
Eagerly await your spouse’s arrival.
Attend to the marriage, never
Rescind the contract nor threaten it.
Train your children by your example.
Serenade each other with kind words.

FRAGILE glass shatters lives. Protect your
HEARTS like you would an heirloom figurine.

If there were a rule book for marriage, I'm certain all that you have mentioned would be in there, Kim. A wonderful acrostic.
