Sister's Wedding

The gentle morning breeze
Came sailing into the room
Spreading around perfume
The sleeping bride did tease

Arise O sleeping lady rise
The special day has come
Listen to those distant drums
Its long after sunrise

Look at that pink dress
Spread with jewels and gems
Your companions around them
With loving hands caress

You look like an angel dear
Your face serene and sweet
But your heart a nervous beat
For the future you might fear

Look now, look at your man
His eyes adoring you
His hands reaching for you
Your new life has began

May the Heavenly Father
Bless both of you
So that together you two
May have a splendid future
