The nurse, offered a name.
Wedding stories, of your strength, your perseverance,
your beauty,
so obvious here today,
shine through,
shone in my life for 10 years now,
an airport our first place of meeting,
you became my beloved fourth daughter
your son my first grandchild.
Today a grand feast, a celebration of
love, your gift.
Gathered together after years of separation,
community!
Crossing lines
divisions not accepted here
peace
connection.
War no more.
Your life takes another step forward.
Bless you my girl!
Oh, how beloved you are!
Blessed am I among women.
