A wedding day for the bride <br />Is a time of treasured bliss <br />A thing she dreamed of as a girl <br />Nothing would be better than this. <br /> <br />She follows tradition from beginning to end <br />Superstitions whether false or true <br />She must have something that’s old and new <br />Something borrowed and something blue. <br /> <br />For something new she has her gown <br />That’s pure white as the snow <br />A simple find so elegant <br />Showcasing her wedding glow. <br /> <br />An ancestry necklace made of pearls <br />Are given for something old <br />Passed down from generation of happy brides <br />The wedding stories they have told. <br /> <br />Her bridesmaids offer a small hair piece <br />Something that she can borrow <br />True friends they are, how sweet and kind <br />Will always be there tomorrow. <br /> <br />Now the last thing needed is the great challenge <br />Yet here there are no fears <br />For the groom provides in his breakup letter <br />Something blue to her eyes: her tears.<br /><br />Genevieve Pilat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-blue/
