Bridal Tattoo

Sometimes before we make the permanent decision like marriage, we need to think the forever aspects of our decision and the person with whom we are making this commitment. Far too often people get married as a temporary cure to their loneliness. We need to be sure that when we say our vows that there is no chance of turning to another or turning away, that love will endure to the end. 

 

Bridal Tattoo

 

Beautiful and not yet twenty-five

Realized strange affections for a man barely alive

In her exuding haste she decided to marry

Didn’t know her husband’s intentions, didn’t know that he

Arranged for an unusual gift on her wedding night

Lass never expected such a permanent plight

Tattoos she had opted would never deface her body

And now as she slept, as she

Turned over and exposed her firm, rounded cheek

The husband branded his initials so that men who peek

Observed that she is his and will always be

Old men had no right with such a young brides to marry
