A Harmattan Nuptial

It’s my wedding day
And my head almost hurts
Because of the joy
You know that pain in your brain
That comes from smiling so much
Today I could get it a million times
And not feel a thing

There’s no perfect marriage they say
Just the coming together of two people
Determined to make it work
Well, I think when you add God to that
It equals perfect
For man’s imperfection
Betrays the Father’s perfectness

People keep asking what my expectations are
It’s joy, wealth, peace, surprises, friendship
And everything in between
But above all,
Every day, I want to give understanding
Make happiness, learn love
And do it all over again
