Snowflakes, Smiles and Tears

White lace and snowflakes on our wedding day
A blizzard raging outside
Warmth abounds in the church
 
In spite of the weather all guests arrived
To watch as we exchanged rings
Most smiled, but mama cried



 
*Written for Dr. Ram’s contest: "Wedding is one of the special events in marriage"

this is just "precious" CArolyn! It should do very well in the contest. Wish I could have had such a topic as this to describe, but I went for the pondering approach!

If you ever cross the pond, we'll have fish 'n' chips on the Barbican together - and you can shock Sue with your salt intake (so she doesn't notice mine...). I've read this poem again and still get a lovely warm feeling from it. Great work : ) Jack
