Not long ago,
my marriage,
it never could be.
Just decades past,
not centuries,
in this land of the free.
Unbelievable
though undeniable,
our shameful history.
Where skin color dictated
with whom one could be.
Just as then,
today celebrates
monumental liberties.
Battles hard fought
and won
for future progeny.
Discrimination eliminated?
Not even close,
Will it ever be?
Yet still, we must rejoice!
in this furthering
of marriage equality.
