POEM AT YOUR WEDDING

I want to read a poem at your wedding
One that describes a love that is so fair
It has to be full of symbology
And vivid images of love that cares.

I want to see you in an antique gown
Just off white enough to show off your style
With embroidered patterns of pink roses
And the timeless beauty of a bride's smile.

I can see the groom in his classic tux
That is only upstaged by his long hair
And the joy that reflects from his face
Is the joy that everyone gets to share.

I want to look up from what I'm reading
So I can lock in on both of your eyes
And feel the magic of becoming
A married couple standing by my side.

I want to send you on a honeymoon
With words that I have not begun to write
I want to watch you both dance together
And know that this dance will last for life.

I want to be part of your family
As they greet the guests beaming with their pride
And I want to breathe the  Oceanside air
When I get my turn to dance with the bride.

I can already hear the rabbi's prayers
As he gives this great marriage his insight
And I can see the light that is in your eyes
And then watch your lives begin their new flight.

I want to read a poem at your wedding
Because I have words to speak if I dare
I will try to describe all love's wonders
But most of all I just have to be there.
