-THE IRISH WEDDING KNOT- <br /> <br />Have you ever seen a Wedding Knot <br />Carved from one piece of wood, <br />Given to an Irish Bride <br />Before the alter where they stood. <br /> <br />The one I have is walnut <br />Made by a loving hand. <br />It was passed down to my father <br />Just as his mother planned. <br /> <br />A marriage of a lifetime <br />Carved into that little knot. <br />A tiny little wooden cage... <br />Wooden ball within the slot. <br /> <br />That wooden ball just stays there <br />sliding 'round inside that cage, <br />Never will it be removed... <br />Never will it disengage. <br /> <br />Three marriages it's gone through <br />Each one has lasted long.... <br />And as long as it remains inside <br />Your marriage won't go wrong. <br /> <br />This special knot I'll treasure <br />Three generations through. <br />This loving Irish Wedding Knot <br />Binds my love to me so true. <br /> <br /> <br />Author: Carolyn Ford Witt <br />Ms. Caroline <br />© 7-2-06<br /><br />Carolyn Ford Witt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-irish-wedding-knot/
