A Wordweave for Giles and Laura
There’s a feeling like the buzzing of the frothing foam from
a recently smoothed out wave
Like the leaping of the white sea- horses, riding the waves
into the security of shore
When your feet tingle as the sea sucks away from the sand
softening the mould of your tickling toes
When hilarity bubbles from the place of hiccups
outrageous comedy flooding the seascape with scandalous
colours
This is how we feel when we are with you
It is corks popping from champagne, fizzing charisma over
brimming glasses
Foaming baths and pink lemonade, crunchy meringue, the shock
of sherbet as it hits the tongue
It is blowing magic bubbles on a rainy day,
The warmth of happy memories and a hug the size of the
future
This is how we feel when we are with you.
It is the twinkling of a charmed heart, a hint of mischief
in a dimpled cheek, a smiley wink
An effervescent energy bouncing our steps, bubbling out,
infectious
It is supercalifragilisticespialidocious
It’s Blooming Marvellous
It’s how we feel when we are with you
Written and read out at the ceremony for my nephew and his wife Laura on the occasion of their wedding on 16th June 2012
