00:00:03.260 --> 00:00:12.410 align:middle line:84%
And this is the poem that
was on the broadside that

00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:17.720 align:middle line:84%
was written, in fact,
for my daughter Iva's

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:22.050 align:middle line:90%
wedding a couple of years ago.

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:24.223 align:middle line:90%
So a little epithalamium.

00:00:24.223 --> 00:00:28.430 align:middle line:90%


00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:32.210 align:middle line:84%
You from the start
a child who was

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:36.920 align:middle line:84%
ready to whisk down the slide
then jump off the diving board.

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.240 align:middle line:84%
Walk home from school
alone, or fly to Nice,

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.110 align:middle line:90%
unaccompanied minor 7.

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:49.070 align:middle line:84%
Drove through Ohio's
snow in a rented truck.

00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:52.580 align:middle line:84%
One skittish cat and
laptop for company

00:00:52.580 --> 00:01:00.670 align:middle line:84%
headed from Tucson to Manhattan
and new exigencies of vocation.

00:01:00.670 --> 00:01:04.629 align:middle line:84%
Rode through the jasmine
dawn on a motorbike.

00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:09.100 align:middle line:84%
Someone was being born as
a glimmer of day, pearl

00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:14.020 align:middle line:84%
to the green, you came to
meet her leaving the hills

00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:18.220 align:middle line:90%
and your night behind you.

00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:22.210 align:middle line:84%
Leap into trust,
commitment, companionship.

00:01:22.210 --> 00:01:23.560 align:middle line:90%
One more departure.

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.780 align:middle line:90%
This time accompanied.

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:31.210 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes a diving board loves
an airport, where all the signs

00:01:31.210 --> 00:01:33.900 align:middle line:90%
today read arrivals.

00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
