Summer wedding— pastor’s voice
Climbs into the bride’s 

Ears, the groom whispers to God;
A baby cries— rings exchanged....

This is the worst day
Christmas was just plain awful
No one the stop by
No presents exchanged
There was no celebration
No joy in the house

Love is requited
When received, it has a price
It is loving in return

Vows were exchanged

Many promises made

Two hearts crushed as feelings vanished

excitedly rearranged

Just stick around

among the closest of people
but tragically broken...

Grief

                   on earth

               is exchanged 
 
                for heavenly

                       joy!

Are exchanged by the two hearts
Neath the heaven’s eyes above.

Rings wrapped around their fingers 
Express that they’re off-limits;
Letting all be reminded....

The lions and tigers will be more than just happy.

  But so cute, he morphed into a charmer
    All the girls saw him and sighed
    Barn-door-sized tears did Fred cry
  Exchanged mud-caked boots for 'Under Armour'...

With this warm key, hearts open
Prospects widen
To sky's felt "life's a breeze!"
Without constraints.

Of such, who now rejoices
Song-freed voices
Have been, for these exchanged
Sighing complaints....

the grief that fills our hearts today

unrepentantly
love

to say hello---

with baited caution

we locked on to each other
without shame
exchanged pleasantries
and agreed 
to give it another try---...
