A SUMMER WEDDING I was seated by a handsome usher In a church that was so beautiful Thinking of the vows the two will take And knowing they are committing to love each other Forever for the rest of their lives Memories of a past life Pass through my mind Like cars on a highway The lights are bright and blinding Like the memories I thought had faded And the faded memory turns into yesterday As I listen to the vows And think of their love And can't help but wonder Am I destined for this? Will fate ever visit me again? And my vision becomes blurred As my chin is quivering and I sit and listen To the vows they wrote for each other I try to be inconspicuous But I feel so many emotions And my mind starts wandering I start thinking of how I was cheated Out of the happiness I once shared With someone I thought I would share my life with Today, tomorrow and forever And the burden that I have bared Somehow this became the past When it used to be my future I thought it was forever But now a distant memory Reminded only by photos and memories Of inside jokes and the way we laughed together The way we were in our own little world And ponder whether this will ever occur again Shooting stars happen once in a great while And true love less often than that When I meet him I will know Until then I will sit here and feel their words She is his little piece of heaven She taught him how to love and trust She completes him with all of her soul He wants to love her unconditionally Have a family and grow old together They are one and each half makes a whole When he has a bad day And comes home in a bad mood He will greet her at the door And think of her feelings first He will ask how her day was And if there is anything he can do for her Because love is a two way street And you should take care of your love first Love each other unconditionally With all of your heart be true You will see what I mean when life hits you And sometimes you will wonder what to do If she burns the toast do not become angry Take all of this in stride Because you know there's no big deal to make You have an entire loaf of Home Pride For sickness and in health My eyes well up with tears For richer and for poorer Until death do us part My being screams with emotion This ring is a sign of my love and fidelity I feel tears stream down my face I think of the love they will share And how they'll grow old together with grace I feel this ceremony had an effect on me More than anyone will ever know I am probably overcompensating For some feelings I most likely never showed Today was a cleansing of sorts It felt as if I was a part Of the love and joy they shared with me today It somehow repaired my broken heart Because life is a jar filled with many things Stones and pebbles and sand Fill my life with stones and pebbles And realize the rest is in my hands |
