A Marriage Celebrates a New Beginning Alpha List Sonnets Wedding Poems Contents Home All poems: copyright by Nicholas Gordon Free scrapbook poems permission to use provided by the author. A marriage celebrates a new beginning: A couple starting out as man and wife. A shower celebrates a happy ending: The last days of a woman's single life. The wide world now has narrowed to a garden In which I will my pleasures plant and reap. The outlines of my character will harden According to the promises I keep. My joy will soon become a melody In counterpoint to those for whom I care, Seeking a profounder harmony Than any I alone could know or bear. So shall I find a greater grace within. One life is over: Let the new begin! Note: Change "I" to "you" and "my" to "your" to address this poem to a prospective bride. [contents] [home]
