I Do

A blue bird chants a song.
A beautiful, passionate song.

Silent as a dove she waits.
Counting down the dates
until her love will find
a beauty so divine.
Her heart of gold 
And herself so bold.
She can but only pray to see
that single true man-to-be.
Their love will forever last
gone with each's past.

As summer beats along
she prepares her vow.
To love as you allow.
Their compassion so strong,
with not a thing wrong.
Nothing can compare,
the deep love they will always share.

As she walks down the aisle
thinking it's all for you,
just to love and say, "I do."
