Today, a wedding
and you here beside me
Our wedding
and you, true one,
beside me
tomorrow
a new wedding
without fan fare or witness
then another
and another
each as important as today, or more
for each day I marry you
then marry you again
I have married you a thousand times
and will
a thousand more
each day
I dress in white – again
innocent to the amazing task
of knowing you
each day anew
This is all that I can vow
– my striving to know you
and the promise that tomorrow
I will marry you again
we wake
I marry you
we cook
we work
we breathe
I marry you
we fall to bed
I marry you
again
you are my beloved
and I do
marry you
again and again and again
