TAKEN

 

Time, an asset
Patience a virtue
Many lack,
A fruit of the spirit.

Many eyes witness
The humility
Of his knees,
Mouths ajar.

\"Are we dreaming?\"
Some frenemies asked
\"Wow! Lucky her\"
A feminine voice echoed.

Unexpected joy at dawn
Visited,
Faces smile in surprise
Palms clap in awe.

Cyonite leader, leads
By action,
\"For this, I will renew
my membership\"
Another skirt soliloquyed.

Heaven bears witness
To this union,
An anointed Rev. Fr.....
Blessed their hearts.

Many voices,
With marital experiences
Pat their backs,
Encouraging their steps,
Into the institution.

Indeed!
The world is glad,
Waiting for the traditional rites
That culminates,
To the religious rites.
