:) Love Poem For A Wedding - (1976 Chapbook) Poem by Bill Grace

I love:
The tides that ebb and flow
And marbled lights on broken roads
The warmth of poetry within
Evening caress that transcends sin.

I love:
The birds that were duped by an early thaw
To mid-winter song, and wonder -
If they were so very wrong?

I ask you to take this ageing ring of gold
Companion touchstone of a first communion
And to hold its trust as we will mold
What God shall join for evermore.
