Blessings from afar



Ohh what an awesomwe party I have missed
If only through some space I was beamed there:
A certain bride I would have gladly kissed,
In the open air or when we we’re bare.

But, alas I make witness from afar,
In current location timezones away.
And enjoy snippets given from the bar,
And in so, keep my emotions at bay.

While I’m missing my bride that is present,
The single person that keeps me alive,
And the one that constantly steels my heart,
Every day throughout every night.

I will lift up all the blessings from here,
For the handsome groom and his stunning bride
