Wedding Day (for Tiff)

Written at the request of my granddaughter Tiffany, to read at her wedding in October.

We came into this life alone

A long, long time ago,

With each of us to each unknown

It gave us time to grow,

Then season after season passed

Our lives would open yet,

When my eyes lit on you at last

Upon the day we met.

And since that day, just like a dream

We’ve never been apart,

You’re everything that love would seem

To this, my bursting heart.

And so today we tie the knot

That binds us both for life,

When I call you my husband, dear,

And you call me your wife.
