Walking slowly and carefully
towards the love of my life
my heart pounding away
faster and faster as I close in
my mind telling me to hurry
my heart echoing the thought
but I keep my steady pace
with sweeting palms and
clouded, teared up eyes
your eyes brighten with joy
at the meer sight of me
a tender smile grows in size
across your gentle, loving face
from my eyes a tear drops
gracefully rolling down
my pale, blushed cheek.
My father brushes it away
with great consideration
before replacing it with a kiss
he turns and faces you
taking my hand and
placing it into your loving one
we look into each others eyes
the spoken words unheard
another tear falls down my
cheek as I confess my love
my eyes never leaving yours
a breath catches in my throat
as I wait for your words to come
tears uncontrolably flowing,
a collasol smile crossing our faces
as you speak of love, family,
hope and our future together.
Finally we are able to
seal our loving pact
with a deep, loving kiss
and a gentle, warm embrace!
