Life's Cherished Moments by BermyBye50
Rondeau Poetry writing prompt entry

 
 
Life’s cherished moments join two hearts  
Sacred vows spoken both impart     
Their marital union is unique,
Two souls become ‘as one’ complete
A bond predestined from the start.

Golden bands that set us apart;
Twin necklaces of white and gold art
An iridescent black pearl chic,
Life’s cherished moments.

Twain spirits shall never depart
Lifetime sweethearts rarely apart;
Their baby arrived early four weeks
His spirit is breathtakingly meek
A blessing to capture their hearts.
Life’s cherished moments.

These two lines:

Twin necklaces of white and gold art
An iridescent black pearl chic,

The two gold necklaces and black pearl pendant symbolize the mother and father and the son pictured in the photo. They were given as a special surprise anniversary gift three days prior to our son's birth.
