Wed Anew

by ST

"With this ring I thee wed . . ."
Solemn words that I once said--
And I meant them, and I do--
But there were things left yet unmentioned.
So now we vow our vows anew
With these new vows enduring, comprehensive;
Acquainted more with Life, Myself, and You . . .
Familiar, conversant--perceiving
What mornings, and evenings, and everydays bring:
Monotony, frustration, sorrow--and Joy!
Content am I to pledge myself
Constant, ceaseless, ever yours--and you to be
My Friend, Companion, Lover . . . now and through Eternity.
