I Do

Tossing and turning not a wink of sleep in sight Visions of her beauty have me thinking all night Butterflies fluttering Churning deep inside Never fathom She'd be my bride She's the sunshine that falls gently upon my face The breeze through my window floating with grace The stars in the sky shining so bright warm hug at night holding me tight In just a few hours all dreams will come true as I give her that ring and we both say I do Staring from the window on the night before we wed Thinking of first moments Inhaling a deep breath Thinking of that smile which has captured my heart Thinking of his tender care A gentleman from the start Many years I've waited Just to watch him sleep Just to lay beside him Feel his toes slight-brush with my feet All my life I've waited for our dream to be At last Im gonna have him for eternity My pearled silk gown is hanging Tomorrow it would be worn Before the lord, our eyes meet the promise would be sworn From the chapel to the gardens Our entrance would be grand The waxen buds will blossom and our love would be sung

Looks entrancing already. Must read... Oh my, this was a delightful one indeed. You both amazed me in ways I cannot describe. Beautiful...work...:) Always a pleasure to read. Will check out your poems after typing class. Talk soon? :) Perhaps, another time. - Day_Vid_Will_i_Am_ PS: Keep smiling and I'm hoping this marriage goes swell.

Marriage -- when two become one -- a holy and special time . . . captured superbly here.
