Marriage

Mark Phibbs

May both of your lives be fulfilled
As you stand by each other
Those first steps you are soon to take,
To be married to each other

May total love be your guide
And happiness be your bliss
With the joy reflected in your eyes
And every time you kiss

Future children to call your own
And a ring to be your vow
Hands linked to face the times ahead
With a smile on your brow

Mark Phibbs

I am a single man, separated, living life for my kids.I have written poetry for decades, but never really considered sharing it. My Ex kept some of my books that I filled, saying she would publish after I died.I joined a friendship site, and found so many people that really need a lift. Hence, I decided to attempt to help them with my words.My poetry seems to just come to me. Sometimes, I have to fight for the verses, but most times, it is just there. Not sure of the source, but, be it dark, or light, it rears it's head. Sadly I lose a lot of it, due to lack of recording media when inspiration hits.I hope you enjoy what I write. I know that I have been able to help some, and I hope to continue to do so.There is no greater joy, than to change someones mood from sad to happy. more…
