The Day

a mountain

on top of the world

magically appearing

through mist

~

you became my wife

~

Chinese Legend

at birth

lovers are joined

by invisible threads

~

overtime

the threads shrink

until couples

are brought together

by marriage

~

Forever

a creation

so precious

it shimmers

like gold

~

our love

our touches

your beautiful

soul

~

Anniversary Gift

when I pass

I want my ashes

to breathe this air

~

as a child

your marriage

was my heaven

on earth

~

Expecting

unknown territory

I feel awkward

~

a co-worker

once said …

one’s never ready

for marriage

being a dad

~

I didn’t know

what to say

how to act

~

I didn’t read

the manual

~

was it important ?

~

keep

believing

trusting

~

Matchmaking

my daughter’s

chinese grandparents

~

he lived in canada

she arrived from hong kong

extra money in an account

if she wanted to return

~

traditions, transactions,

bound by honour

family obligations

~

who am I to judge

the context of love ?
