Remembering This Sacred Day – v2

Two years ago today
the day we wed
on the stone bridge
in the park
before the snow showers

A handful of friends,
our daughters, our God
and the cold wind
the icy walk below

Your blue dress,
my snowflake tie,
a beautiful silk bouquet
out in God’s creation

Words we wrote together
given by You, Lord
to share, to live by

Holy scripture with deep meaning
From the Book of Ruth
for us, to read together
through the tears
Speaking your servant’s words

Two rings, a kiss, a toast
promises declared in covenant
sealing the moment
on this sacred day
when we wed
