High/Low, PAD 21

 

I Do, I Did, and I Am

 

My voice has always been soft and low.

As a child, adults would often tell me,

“If you don’t speak up at your wedding

the preacher won’t be able to hear you

when you say I do and you’ll stay single.”

I don’t know why they thought of that.

But there have been many times

in forty-six years of marriage

that I wished that on that October day

I would have kept my voice low.
