I Do

We recently attended a beach wedding and it came with a wonderful view As the happy couple getting married smiled and said I do. It’s been 25 years, yes a lifetime…one we often like to review Since in a little church in Dunedin, Deborah and I said I do. Brenda and Carol are two close friends and this one fact is true They’ve been together as long as Deborah and I, but have never said I do. Oh they would have married but our country has said they’re not allowed to So they’ve waited and waited and still wait for the day they can say I do. And they are not alone for there are many other couples in our country who Are waiting for the day to be treated like Deborah and me, and get a chance to say I do. Oh there is a change in the wind as 12 states and the District of Columbia too Allow Brenda and Carol to stand together and utter the words I do. It begs the question for the rest of the country, Why would you, or you or you Want to take away a couples constitutional right just to say I do. Many refer to the bible where Adam and Eve once rendezvoused As a reason Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve must never say I do. But besides this archaic reason banning same sex couples from saying I do The Bible also bans eating a ham sandwich, gossiping and tattoos. The Bible states a man or a woman who divorce can never again say I do Women are not allowed to talk in church, and rounded haircuts are taboo. It seems to me the Bible makes it easy; when the day is through Allowing bigots to take no responsibility in banning same sex I do’s I believe they should be looking at our constitution which demands equal rights for who? For all people, yes all the people who wish to say I do. To me there really should be no question, it’s none of my business who Wants to enter into matrimony by saying the words I do. It won’t end our country as we know it…and it’s so very long overdue It’s time for same sex couples to legally say I do. I long for the day Brenda and Carol, and all the others who may want to Can walk down the aisle in the state of their choice and utter the words I do. If they want to have a beach wedding, I’ll sit back and enjoy the view. As two of my close friends look into each other’s eyes, smile and say I do. Who wants to follow the constitution? Who wants the truth to finally pursue? Who wants my friends and their friends to marry? Who wants this? …I know I do?
