Then the suffeRING

From Leny:

FOR MICHELLE AND RHETT ---

First the engagement ring,
Then the wedding ring,
Then the suffer-ing.

This is Lolo’s blessing.

Wise and sentient,
He reminds the couple:
Ecstasy will pass.

Life is suffering.
May your wedding
Provide the core,

Heart and soul
Making Suffering
Sweet and bearable.
