I watch as they repeat their vows,
Darling granddaughter and her love.
Each looks into the other's eyes
As though directed from above.
Loving them both, I say a prayer.
I pray their fairy tale will last.
Zealously, jealously I beg,
Each day their love remains steadfast.
Dear Lord, for them I dare to ask.

Love that grows stronger every day,
Oh, how I wish that for these two.
Vows remembered and vows renewed,
Each partner staying strong and true.

Joyce Johnson

I wrote this the day after my youngest beloved granddaughter walked down the aisle.

This is absolutely wonderful, dear Joyce. How happy the couple must have been to receive your words of grace and beauty, born in your heart. And an acrostic no less, so very nice.

It is such a pleasure to see that you visited our little Corner Pub, I hoped you would show up and here you are. I admire you.

Love and hugs and my best wishes too.

Not only is the message of the poem delightfully written, but in acrostic too.

Thanks for enlightening me on this form, so cleverly crafted, Joyce.

So very clever.
I wish I could write a tenth as well as you.
Thank you
