This Woman in White

2002 Poetry

This woman in white,

who walked down the aisle.

This woman in white,

with such a sweet smile.



She came into his life,

through the help of a friend.

Right from the start,

her love she did extend.



At times their distance was great,

separated by many miles.

Yet their love endured, and grew strong,

without any trials.



They knew in their hearts,

it would be only a short time.

They knew how they felt,

their love was sublime.



We wondered how long it would take,

for the ultimate question.

We didn't push, or ask,

and showed some discretion.



The day came and he plotted,

he wanted it just right.

He knew how she'd answer,

but its sound was pure delight.



Then the wedding was here,

we all gathered in celebration.

Witnessing this sacrament

known as god's great creation.



We saw this "Woman in White",

appearing so divine.

This "Woman in White",

who married this son of mine.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My son was married on November 16, 2002.

I wrote this shortly after they got engaged and have been sitting on it ever since.

I guess I can publish it now. (LOL)
