The Brink of Forever

My brother is getting married in the spring, so sad. Weddings and growing up have been on my mind because of this! Thus, this little poem was born, hope you like it!

The Brink of Forever

The time has been awaited
The earth has been prepared
The day
here

The once little girl has grown
The shyness of youth forgotten
The toys
Left

The once little boy has faded
The time of swords, capes gone
The simple
Behind

The flowers have been cut
The dresses picked and pressed
The promises
Written

The aisle has been walked
The tears of joy silently shed
The vows
Made

The celebrations have ended
The farewells softly exchanged
The journey
Started

The future is finally seized
The days unnumbered await
The limitation
Forever
