Hear me
read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Heaven is an ordinary
day.
All the love there is, is in your hearts.
Perhaps the chatter jostles with the music
Pouring forth from angels on all sides.
Yet every moment sings with jubilation.
For you today's a day of celebration
In which you mark the joining of your lives.
Fortune comes to those who don't refuse it,
The self-served gift, despite one's fits and
starts,
Heaven that succumbs, and serves, and
stays.
