It’s June, and....The parents of the bride move

about,in a quiet wayNow that the wedding is jut a

few days away.Father is pacing, he’ll do what

he is told,to help his sweet princess

who’sleaving the fold.Mother ignores all the chaos

and clutter,being left everywhere, by her

precious daughter.There’s hair in the sink,the dog needs a bath,panic is growing in everyone’s

path.Wasn’t yesterday she rode her

first bike?Was it just last week, when

she first met Mike?Where have the years gone;

the smiles, the tears.Will he give her some comfort

when she has fears?The parents have hope, and

together they pray,that soon she’ll be happy as

she is today.
