My cousin asked me to write a poem for her wedding... so I did!
This world is always turning…
All the days we walk this earth…
Coming and going…
With a brand new day dawning…
As yesterday fades behind us…
And yet we drift in the currents of time…
Eyes always on what’s further down the bend…
Rushing from one happening to the next…
One has to ask…
Where do all those moments go?
The hours…?
The minutes…?
We never stop to savor the moment…
And so we lose those precious times…
All the simple moments in life…
The times we overlook…
But such is the way of life…
In this fast paced world we live in…
Why can’t we enjoy those simple moments anymore?
The sound of children’s laughter…
The majesty of a sunset…
A lovers embrace…
Why can’t we stop and take pride in those special moments?
When children find their place in the world…
And set out on the journeys of their lives…
To find their happiness…
To start their own families…
When boys become men…
And when girls grow up to be their brides…
Today we’ve been given that chance…
Today we’ve chosen to break away from the current…
Today we’ve stopped the world from turning…
To hold onto these moments…
To embrace our two families…
As they become one…
And so here we are…
Ready to celebrate this joyous union…
Of two lives…
Of two hearts…
Of two souls that have intertwined…
We must treasure this moment…
Until the ends of time…
And as I gaze upon the two of you…
Cousin Jenny…
And Husband Jimmy…
I can only hope that I too…
May one day find the love that you two hold right now…
Together…
