Promises on the Porch

Prompt--Life Event Poem


Intendeds
Spent the day
Sweating, sweeping
Setting up chairs
Caterers circulated
Small group took
Their seats
With five short steps
A blessing said
A tug on tulle before
Promises and rings exchanged
New stepdaughter
Age three
Whispering insistently
That the bride take
The little girl for a
Bathroom break

True story :-)
