I’ve been invited to a wedding Or so my sister says My cousins’ daughter But then, it would only be natural To be invited to a family wedding The very few friends and acquaintances I haven’t sloughed off Or ignored into oblivion Know I’m not at my best in a crowd And even at that, I’m fairly certain The invite was included as a post script By the way, if you see Ed… I’ll attend, of course If only to think that one day A small child, not yet born May turn the pages of an old family album Place a plump, pink finger Squarely on a bearded face Staring from a yellowing photograph And wonder aloud "Gramma? Who’s dat?" |

something about this really captured me. I think because it really reminds me of someone close to me... it's eerily familiar. You have done well at expressing this ... thank you for posting. |

Yep. I can see that photo album now. And the answer will be: "Oh honey that's your great second cousin once removed, the one who wrote all those wonderful poems." |

I can hear the mother replying with a great big smile, that is someone very important and very wise that you need to meet someday very soon. Hugs, well expressed. |

And Gramma will say.. "Why, he's that wonderful writer, we've been reading his books of poetry to you." Have fun at the wedding Ed.  |

Ed, I would like to echo Poet deVine's reply! She stated what I was thinking, perfectly! You will most likely enjoy yourself more than you may think you will!  Linda |

"Know I’m not at my best in a crowd" nod That's exactly why I'd corner you, get you drunk and make you dance mad moves.  (I have had experience with yeti's...) you are precious |
