A Wedding

A couple friends were married this summer, and I wrote a little poem for them.
--------
On that day
There was a play
Starring Jesse, Liz, and friends

On the mountain
Go and count ‘em
Stories, laughter, and wedding bands.

Top of the inning
A new beginning
Liz and Jesse westward go

Newly wed
Are they mad?
Inviting someone to their new home.

Sweet and generous
And adventurous
Liz shall train at the GTU

Into the uncharted
Open-hearted
Jesse shall sing songs for you.

Daytime planters
Nighttime lanterns
Living and working in community

Playing, sharing
Serving, caring
Marching to the beat of their Diety.
