New Family

New family is always expected
when there is a marriage.
These days, they are more
than a 'Special' pairage.

Because one mother will not lose a son
but gain a daughter.
The other will not lose a daughter
but gain a son.

When the families join for birthdays,
holidays, or even sad events,
The Lord blesses each occasion 
with the grace to see them through.

God blesses the new family, but 
never more than on their wedding day.
For it is on this day that families merge
and by the Lord's love and grace
their love will surge.

"God Bless You" on this your wedding day,
and by doing"  so, remind to you
to each other "I Love You", 
each day to say.

I enjoyed your poem. Sometimes it is only at funerals and weddings that extended relatives gather. Such a sweet reminder to us all ... CayCay

I appreciate the words and am glad that you enjoyed this poor effort. Did you get my note on soupmail? Unfortunately, I do not know how to generate it so I had to do it as a reply to one of yours. What do you think?

Thanks, Jan. I wrote it for a cousin's wedding. Just thought I would share it.
