Picture Worth a Thousand Words
Dear faces under glass
She’s wearing a white dress and veil,
He’s wearing a tux and crimson tie,
They smile radiantly as they look into each other’s eyes.
Dear faces under glass
She’s glowing with absolute delight,
He’s beaming with pride,
They smile radiantly as they look down on their newborn daughter.
Dear faces under glass
She’s laughing with tears of joy,
He’s kneeling down by the Christmas tree,
They smile radiantly as they watch their daughter squeal with glee.
Dear faces under glass
She’s holding her daughter’s princess lunchbox,
He’s helping his daughter put on her backpack,
They smile radiantly as they send their daughter off to Kindergarten.
Dear faces under glass
She’s fussing with her daughter’s hair,
He’s greeting the young man at the door,
They smile radiantly as they see their daughter off to prom.
Dear faces under glass
She’s wiping away tears from her cheek,
He’s clapping enthusiastically,
They smile radiantly as their daughter receives her diploma.
Dear faces under glass
She’s admiring her daughter’s white gown and veil,
He’s walking her down the aisle,
They smile radiantly as they give their daughter away.
Dear faces under glass
She’s glowing with absolute delight,
He’s beaming with pride,
They smile radiantly as they look down on their first grandchild.
Dear faces under glass
She has white hair and wrinkles,
He has arthritis and a cane,
They smile radiantly as they look into each other’s eyes.
Dear faces under glass.
