Wedding

There is that tinge of sadnessand
a little touch of melancholy
It is both a day of parting and unity
filled with....
silence of hope
bursts of laughter
and shadows of tears

As a father hands over her daughter
to a man now dearly known as her husband
A mother watches in silence
her heart full of prayer
for the daugther that she loves ever so dearly

As she kissed her groom's hand
thoughts ran through her mind
will she be able to fulfill all her vows
will she be able to honour and trust

Looking up into his eyes
In her heart she knows
With him by her side to guide her
All will be well for ever and ever
