It was one of the honors of my life to write a poem for my brother Dan and his wife Giselle’s wedding ceremony back in June. When they first asked me to read at their wedding I was nervous about coming up with something meaningful enough. After about an hour reflecting I knew – for such an adventurous, fun-loving couple, the theme had to be sunlight and the simple, joyful times they share together. Read my poem below.
The Sun Always Finds Us
Hand-in-hand on the shores of the Atlantic
Or hiking the Hudson riverside
Standing before the Santa Monica mountains
Our windows down on a Catskills drive
Wherever we are in the world
The light seems to find us
On rugged Irish shores
And quaint Paris streets
Through the trees of Central Park
Landing on our faces and feet.
Wherever you are in the world
The light seems to find you, my dear
But the rays are strongest right here, right now
When I stand on this river beside you
And love you more than ever, somehow.
Know that I’ll never stop looking over with pride
In those soft, sunny mornings when all is calm
And you’re by my side.
SKETCHING A STORY 
Dear Sara,
It’s good to see you’re still writing, beautifully as ever
Your brother and sister-in-law made a wise choice asking you to write something for their wedding. Your poem is exquisite
