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.
