Wedding Postponed

a poem for couples who, thanks to covid-19, may have to wait a little longer than expected to tie the knot

‘Wedding postponed’ we had to declare

With no other option, resigned to despair

The planning, the build up, the details in place

To have it all crumble; fall flat on its face

-

But nothing has ended; we still have forever

When this has blown over, we’ll all get together

With love in our hearts, and smiles on our faces

Coming together, from our different places

-

To celebrate more than the union of two,

But the joy of our freedom, once this is all through

Let’s never forget all the luck that we carry -

The wait will be worth it when we finally marry.
