for Katerina Geomela & Alan Simbo
what matters is
happiness.
you were the
spunky kid who
broke the bed &
wouldn’t say
how.
the one who
ran away to
see the far side
of the
moon.
so much seeking––
like an endless
adventure.
but happiness comes
secretly &
everything
changes.
now
you are in
love.
first a glimpse,
then the work of
happiness.
you realize
you are God’s
gift to
eachother.
you vow to
dwell together for a
lifetime, to
share holy laughter &
love for the heart’s
good.
God’s blessing be
with you.
& many years
from now,
may twillight
find you
still holding
hands
trembling with
joy.
