Suellen's Wedding Day Our first born re-married in the great outdoors where all creatures came With her family and friends around and with love flowing like honey Her three youngest also got married to share the couple and same last name So beautiful with granddaughters as flower girls making a cloudy day seem sunny As weddings go it was quite unusual and wouldn't make social head lines But I heard it from the groom that as plans went it was perfect for them And with the future ahead they could age together as great fine wines They had lived the past, endured all the trials and this life they would all win After the "I Do's" and pictures and hugs and kisses and even some tears Time to take a deep breath, look around, try to remember faces of new family and friends So many little ones with parents in tow with smiles and laughter to last through the years The clouds went away, the sun came out, time for picnic foods, sure to win Now for dancing, take off the shoes, crank up the music, join in or just reminisce So cute to see the very young mimic the oldsters doing the Chicken and Twist The sand is flying, laughter, screams of delight, the bride and groom share another kiss I think even the forest animals joined in the fun and to witness their bliss In years gone by I've seen the pain and loneliness in her eyes, even fear of the future I added some "I TOLD YOU SO's", as a mother tried to understand what went wrong This day won't end all doubts or fears or pain but she and I have grown more mature Starting fresh, looking ahead, a partner at her side, happiness lasting a lifetime long Wishing you the very best in the new adventure in time Warm hugs for y'all and on this marriage may the sun always shine Love to this new family, Mom [This message has been edited by Mother_Earth (edited 08-28-2001).] |

So lovely to capture and share a moment of pride and hope for your newlywed couple. I too hope the sun shines on their marriage. God Bless and keep you all. The poem reminded me of the way weddings used to be in the golden days. A great start. Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |

Regina, you are so right. Now they are still paying the bills when they start the divorce. Sad.... I, too, hope this time it works out and not just because I am the mom and grandmom and great-grandmom to this "tribe". |

Sometimes older folk realize that a second start might mean that much more happiness for all concerned... sometimes, even the third time is the Charm... which you have accepted with the grace and maturity of your wisdom... well done, ME |

Seymour, glad you enjoyed. Decaflame, I only want my children to be as happy as possible. Sometimes it takes several tries. If it doesn't work....please get out and try again. Sven, thanks and I have a BIG paint brush. |
