Decades will go by,
a symbolic gesture takes
our lives across the world,
a normalcy,
we only breathe
when together a decision
is made,
a sea of wonder and speculation,
would become our stability,
instability,
our need to find some semblance
of order.
Take my hand
know that I will tear apart our integrity,
yet the model
would suggest,
the challenge,
that opportunity
to be recognized
a bond, a union,
place your courage upon my finger,
I will enhance yours over the years.
Raise our children,
beautiful smiles,
profound moments bring tears
as I write these words,
all the many memories,
our values,
now our children,
how we might both wish
they will fulfill dreams
in a future sequence
of their own
marital bliss
than we might choose.
Take my hand,
feel the emptiness,
I’ve lost my way,
yet now I see there is a way,
stay alone … live forever today.
