Paul and Christine, a love story
You hold those joyful smiles
looking together in the same direction
sure of the Love from above
You hold those joyful smiles
partners in life and love
sure of the Love from above
kind pressure of God’s presence
partners in life and love
support during dark times
kind pressure of God’s presence
with you for a lifetime and eternity
support during dark times
God is your Good Shepherd
with you for a lifetime and eternity
not gazing just at each other
God is your Good Shepherd
making you to take rest
not gazing just at each other
confidently forging ahead
making you to take rest
Author of your faith gives hope
confidently forging ahead
story of a beautiful tomorrow
Author of your faith gives hope
Christine and Paul, a love story,
story of a beautiful tomorrow
looking together in the same direction

Finally, here is a gift of a poem I just read for the first time today: “What Can a Poem Do?” by Darius V. Daughtry
a poem cannot save a life
cannot Luke Cage your skin
fend off a dark alley attack
cannot make you less woman
or less poor
or less Black
and
thus
treated equally
Thursday was the wedding day, a perfectly warm-not-hot afternoon and evening. Today’s Poetry Friday round up is being gathered over at Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme by Matt Forrest Esenwine. He is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Friends & Anemones: Ocean Poems for Children, a beautiful anthology. Thank you, Matt, for hosting.
