And she is on her way......

And she is on her way,
The veil conceals a single tear,
Her Father holds a shaking hand
and the limousine pulls away.

They talk of nothing really,
“You’ll always be my little girl”, he says,
as they pull into the Church,
and the veil conceals a single tear.

The organist plays, and everyone stands,
This time she holds her Dad’s shaking hand,
There is no veil to conceal his tears,
and the longest walk of his life begins.

“Who gives this Woman”, a nod of consent,
A secret glance, and exchange of vows,
For now and forever, for better for worse,
And she is on her way….........................

And she is on her way......

And she is on her way...... belongs to the following groups:

    My heart is touched. I have two daughters, neither married, but each day I think about them and what wonderful women they have become and I can cry tears of joy and sadness all in one.
