Marriage vows
Real life fairy tales
played out daily
all over the world
Such a pretty litany
of lovely promises
Rose petals
paving the way
to eternity
We all know the reality
Statistical history
that measures
prior nuptial disasters
will fully quantify
the wreckage
of happily ever afters
In spite of the odds
they line up anyway
to take that leap of faith
chanting the ancient liturgy
hopeful that their words
do not fly off
like a mocking bird
