[on the occasion of my nephew's wedding in '06]
Life is kinda like that.
Anticipation up.
Dips, thrills, clickety clack.
Pain and joy, little luck.
So it goes.
Marriage--Mother Coaster!
Up, down, and around.
Little love'll get mosta her.
And later wheels will sound.
So it goes.
Years and miles pass ya by
(before now joyous eyes),
so fast you'll wonder why.
Life'll hide in disguise.
So it goes.
This day be both of yours:
Remember well be wise
for ends come in "No more's,"
just fit us each our size.
That is it . . .
if I here were there to say so.
