Flashback

Sweet Memories 
Is All She Could Think Of
Hours Playing Outside
Now, Releasing White Doves

Eating Birthday Cake
Everything Is A Mess
Looking In The Mirror
Staring Back Is A White Dress

Playing With Dolls
Telling All About Friends
Standing At The Altar
Committing To The End

Sitting There Pouting
Crying All Over Toys
Gazing In His Eyes
Falling Tears Called Joy

No Longer A Little Girl
About To Become A Wife
Separation Of Her Childhood
From Her Adult Life
