This lovely poem reminded me of "covenant marriage" and the lifelong commitment of I and Love and You.Epithalamiumby Thomas LynchThat man who was married in the same black suithe was laid out in, years later, and buried,his widow's tears—they might all make sense to you,now that the two of you are to be married.You've seen old photos of the two of themtaken seven decades back or more.They showed up smiling and said, of coursewe will, for better or worse, and thenthey raised their glasses, cut the cake and kissedand tossed the bride's bouquet and garter outand thanked their parents and … [Read more...]
