For Better And For Worse Poem by Claudia Bridgett

They walk down the aisle
See all the smiling faces
Then they glance over to the father of the bride
Watching him hide the tears falling down his cheek

Finally they are at the altar
Hand and hand
They have tears in their eyes and a smile on their hearts
They say the words I do
Then they recite for better and for worse; till death do us part

Once they recite the golden words of marriage
They kiss their first kiss of happiness
Believing it’s the first of many more
Then they grab each others hand and walk down the aisle
Watching their family and friends cry and smile for their beloved happiness
Rice is thrown; and they go off to their paradise
And for better and for worse; till death do them part.
