at a wedding table
At a Wedding Table 6/30/17
At a glance
There blue hands had every chance
To express their aging romance
They sat with eyes affixed
This was no conjurers trick
Watching I wondered how does it stick
This aging love that seems only a prefix
To their years with no subtext
So gingerly they move together
Yet so strong they can handle any weather
It brought tears to my eyes
Because I just never learned how to be that guy
