Valentine's Day, Our Wedding Day Poem by Patricia Kelley

Valentine's Day!
Always reminds me of our special day.
When we walked through the barefoot aisles of glistening warm white sand,
In the Virgin Islands,
In Saint Thomas,
On a heart shaped beach.
The day you took my hand,
In front of God and everyone,
We comfortably said.
I do.
The day that I stared into your sun kissed smiling face.
Straight into your brown eyes',
Seeing the reflection of love, reflecting back,
The girl in the mirror of your eyes smiling,
Compiling,
Filing,
What brought her to this special moment!
Feeling chosen,
Once broken,
With a suite case full of clothes waiting to be unpacked;
I felt at home.
Knowing where, I belonged.
Your loving eyes fixed only on me.
Wearing a wedding dress trimmed in white lace.
The day the crystal aqua blue waves rushed up to the shore kissing my bare feet.
My Heavenly Father,
Blessing our wedding day,
Knowing that you would be my husband,
For the rest of my life,
I agreed to be your wife.
Pegasus my Heavenly pet did acrobats in the sky,
Flying high!
Above the deep transparent aqua blue Caribbean Sea,
Everyone applauded.
Seeing his reflection in the clear glistening waters,
It was, as if, Saint Valentine's himself was performing the ceremony hundreds of years before.
With hundreds of brides ready to wed their grooms;
Sneaking out of their private dusty rooms,
I felt a hundred eyes upon us that day taking pictures in their minds.
Still winds.
Deep transparent aqua blue seas,
Rolling waves,
Clear blue skies.
Hundreds of eyes,
Many creatures from the depths of the seas,
They were all, our guest.
Uninvited,
Invited,
They all wanted to share.
Not needing a chair.
Their eyes witnessing, the perfect wedding day,
When two souls become one,
No longer wandering the earth alone,
They found someone.
Someone to become their best friend and lover,
I found you.
You found me.
Predestined,
Destined,
Our love was meant to be written in the sky.
