A Wedding Gift

My nephew asked me to speak in the church at his wedding. Honored to do so, I wrote him and his new Bride this poem.

To keep a happy marriage brimful
Appreciate each others love
Never take each one for granted
Never push and never shove

To compliment…a simple action
So give them often, they are free
Enjoy the simple things in life
To find that perfect harmony

Say, “I love you” fairly often
Never sleep when you are mad
Hold hands as you grow older
And hold each other when you sad

Not only love will keep you happy
So have a friendship that is strong
Never boast when you are right
And say, “I’m sorry” when you’re wrong

If you heed these simple treasures
You’ll fall in love time and again
And grow old with one another
To reminisce…remember when?
