An excuse to re-post
This beautiful wedding gift from our dear friend, donnickcottage still brings tears to my eyes.
Karen's Song
Her heart seemed the weight of a robin’s blue feather
The day had arrived when she’d be born again
The fear that had gripped her, the why and the whether
had vanished with only two strokes of one pen
The wedding was simple, no cheers from the plucky
She, soothing as velvet, he, never undone
A man of the Flemish, and lass of Kentucky
spoke oaths of true love and turned two lives to one
I’m but an observer, a man in the distance
yet I know my right from a barrel of wrong
I saw by their tenderness, strength and persistence
In each others arms they’d forever belong
