Lucky in love...

My cousin celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary last dec 18 and she asked me to write a poem for them. She asked me to write it months before her renewal but whenever I attempted to make it.. it came up blank. But as I saw her walking down the aisle for a second time, as I saw her face.. the words just flowed out of no where. I don't know how to title it though... except that I know she has alwasy been lucky in bingo, in raffles and in love....

A poem for Jun-jun and Linell

In a vast sea of people
Your face stands out
Your aura radiant with happiness
As it mirrors the past 25 years of your union

The road was never easy
But I guess no marriage is
But these little bumps
Defined each other’s true character

I salute you both
For your enduring commitment
To uphold the promises once made
As you have renewed it today

Your love for one another
Cannot be measured
Envied by others
And tried to be emulated by some

But not everyone was blessed
To have found and married
The great love of their life
Their soulmate, their bestfriend

You really are extremely lucky
Lucky to have found each other
So hold on tight and never let go
For this love only comes once… in alifetime…
