Juneteenth

June weddings, white, lacey, crisp, pure, Under starlit canopy, soft wispy materials Nestled into the crook of her true love’s arm, a bride Ever glowing, celebrating her soldier husband’s return and vows Tethered in history and tradition, a June bride and her loving man Each thinking of the life they will lead, the children for the wife Each wondering what their unity will bring in the way of love, life and celebration Neither realizing some hardships and heartaches will come along the way Together fully and completely, beginning their unique History with each other Written July 2, 2018 For: Edward Ebeh’s Juneteenth Contest
