Happy Communion

If Shakespeare was alive today
To see how our love has thrived
Then Romeo & Juliet,
Would not have been derived.

He would take just one glance
At the way I look at you;
Then tell at that distinctive moment
“Matrimony, `tis seen here true!”

Without having to vacillate
He wrote an exquisite play
Just from a simple glance
He acquired upon this day.

Now, if he could perceive our love
From obtaining a single view,
Then on this day of happy bliss
I’ll forever say, “I do.”
