Threads of Gold

poem for my sisters wedding

Threads of Gold


Childhood days are long since gone,
Paled and faded one by one.
Down and through those days of old,
I’m linked to you with threads of gold.
Shrouded shadows of the past,
Memories that will always last.

Now here on your wedding day
Your shining smiles come out to play.
Golden threads within your dress
Glints of shimmering happiness.
Fleeting flashes dance on to
Graham’s looks of love for you.

We’ve waited long for this event,
Known to you how much it meant
A golden thread of cyber hue
Brought this special treasure through
Unspoken dreams and happiness now
You’ve’ found a future here somehow.

My prettiest sister just got married
Beautiful as the flowers she carried
Tied with golden threaded rings
Vows exchanged and tears stings
So follow through those threads of gold,
That bring unmeasured dreams untold,

But the golden threads do not end here,
It weaves it way through all the year
And turn to future, lay unravelled
Waiting for you to be travelled.
So take those threads and live your life,
Drowned in love as Graham’s wife.
