Happiness Preserved

A canopy of flowers
     'neath a shady bower

   Exquisite weather
     for a life together

   We pledge our oath
     in solemn troth

   Happiness preserved
     ~ of memories deserved

There are hundreds of poems and songs about love that aren't there Gershon? That says something I guess. Where would we all be without it? There were swans at the pond at my wedding, bagpipes, and white orchids Now married 26 years. Maybe because of the swans. Tee Hee! Your poem is so pretty to visualize, so lacy, and lovely. Glad I found it.

Perhaps you should renew your vows with your lovely wife? Maybe that’s what it means??

Thanks, Deb. Been thinking and dreaming a lot about weddings lately. Wonder why?! Maybe I was 'blocking them out' before... I am probably a great Freudian case study.

Better romantic than pedantic, I guess. Thanks, Vickey! Love and Life, Gershon

Appreciated, Michael. May we all look back on our wedding days with joy -- and maybe more often than once a decade or so...
