POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: BEST WISHES, by                    
First Line: Dad didn't like the card they chose
Last Line: "have many happy weddings, dear."
Subject(s): Gifts & Giving; Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Dad didn't like the card they chose
To send with the gifts to Tom and Rose.
"But that's not one for a wedding, you know!"
The children insisted, "She'll love it so!"
Over this present the little bride
Lingered the longest. To Tom with pride
She showed the spoons. "This took the lot
Of nickels and pennies they have got."
Then at the card they stared, for there
Were angels hovering in the air,
Strewing graves with flowers white;
And underneath, "We hope you're quite
As happy as these angels here.
Have many happy weddings, dear."
