Poem – Love Becomes a Different Buffet

I am waking up and going slow.
Moving back into a tempo that I know.

The wedding is over and there is less to do.
Everything in my body wants to say, “Whew!”

It was magical. It was a moment to remember.
And now, as it cools down into September.

I reflect on all the major steps that allowed this to be.
And all the love that opened my eyes so that all could see.

Weddings are like that. A snapshot of what is the glue.
And that love is the motivation that gets us all through.

Life is hard … but love is the key.
We do things for others, hoping they will eventually see.

Leave this world better than where we started.
Give things a chance and be tenderhearted.

The love we give out will come back in another way.
And that moment will be perfect, just a different buffet.
