Eternal Ring

Gold never ending, left fourth finger ornament
Inscription inside tells the beginning date for the union
God's joining, never severed
Love's symbol placed loving by a joyous December bride
Groom's cake, the old ball and chain, red velvet, looked like a bleeding heart on the table
Friends rejoice at the final celebration of the forever union.
Lord's will, we will rock our senior years away.

Nicely done Romanticism. Remember the story of the old man and woman who were too weak to rock and couldn't remember a thing. Keep the magical pen flowing. Mom
