These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Wedding

The honored day to life begin
among their family, friends
saw youth in joy, and Hope’s great win.
Two lives as one to blend.

The outdoor wedding with mild skies
was sweet and gentle, too.
The zoom call with our distant sighs
was something rather new.

The party’s now, but we’re not there.
The timing was not good,
but sentiments still show we care.
Our presence, wish we could.
