Made for Each Other

Young love So sweet So pure

It marvels at its discovery

Its luck Its fortune

Stands in awe of

Its atomic power

Amazed ---

It searches for adequate words

Finds none to please but

Compelled by such force

It writes/composes bard's lyrics

A song to the beloved

That would make Rumi dance

Then sings it with the band

Into the warm Spring night

It is as we say

A beautiful thing

The not so young

Remember for a moment

What it was like

Once upon a time

And though we would not

For the very life of us

Change places

Even if we could

A melancholy sweeps

Over our weary hearts

As we look at the

Old stars still shining

While the words/the music of

This holy night

Wrap a time warp around

Our ever dreaming souls

Here we are

Made for each other

After all these years

Blinking our wide open eyes

Swaying with the children

In the southern breeze of

Happily Ever After

It's a beautiful thing . . .

For my nephew Will and new niece Fawn.

Will wrote a song for Fawn that was sung at the wedding rehearsal dinner entitled "Made for Me." This poem is my response to his lovely song.

I love "Made for Me" and the poet who wrote it! God bless the troubadour and his beloved! And their parents! Always! Such a lovely wedding!
