Wedding Bells Rang

Wedding bells rang this
Early evening:

We tossed seed
Into air hued
Lilac by shadow,
Laughing with joy though

Papa, he brooded,
And Mama’s red cheeks
Ran freshets of
Tears, brine for the
Years she pampered and

Loved, cared for her girl,
In hard times and good,
Knowing one day
Eros would call,

Tempting our sis, whose
Husband’s a fine guy who
Earned our acceptance and
Really deserved all our
Expressions of cheer and
Shouts of “Good Luck!”

Now, let’s move back to the bar,
Our newlyweds gone, let’s

Toast, again, baby sister,
One ravishing bride and
Married (believe it?)
On this fun, festive day, so
Raise high your charged glasses and
Roar with approval and let’s
Open more bubbly, abolish the clock, and
We’ll party like there’s no tomorrow.
