J.P.G. Poems

Marriage ©

By Joseph P. Gimenez

 2010 for the Red Hook Series

Some say marriage is a test made for two

If you help each other along the way, you will make it through

The Good times and bad are all rolled up in one

And with a slip of the ring on her finger the magic has begun.

The years will pass quickly as your love grows

How long it will last, no one ever really knows

All you can do is support your new found friend

Be faithful and true and the magic will never end.

The important thing to remember is that your lives have changed today

You have made a commitment the good old-fashioned way

You have promised each other to be theirs forever more

That promise will sustain you when trouble is at the door.

So, hold her hand as she is now your bride.

Don’t keep secrets from each other for they are hard to hide

Remember your vows and the promises made

May your love never end as the cards of your lives are played.
