April Twenty Third Nineteen Hundred Eighty Three

Once upon a time on a sun filled day,
I stood waiting at the base of an alter
Nervous of the change, all dressed in grey,
Terrified that my voice may falter

Looking around me I saw happiness and tears,
And my heart was overflowing with love
We were to become one, a union for the years,
And we were blessed by the Lord above

Family and friends were gathered all around,
Wearing faces with smiles filled with joy
Proudly I shared with them, the love I had found,
Time for the joining of this girl and this boy

And there you were, at the top of the aisle,
Oh so lovely, so innocent, so true
The face of an Angel, such a beautiful smile,
I trembled at the mere sight of you

As I stood there your Father brought you to me,
And your every step kept pace with my heart
This day, April Twenty Third Nineteen Hundred Eighty Three,
That which God has joined nothing can tear apart
