People Get Married ...
you see them sometimes
in a crowd of smartly dressed people
standing on the steps of a church
the bride obvious
in her long flowing gown
of white ruffles
the groom
not so distinct
but there
with a glint in his eye
and all around them
are the well-wishers
the hopeful
the parents of the bride
and maybe
the parents of the groom
and it all fits
it all falls into place
the postcard of perfect bliss
a celebration of life
because that's what happens
when people get married
in a crowd of smartly dressed people
standing on the steps of a church
the bride obvious
in her long flowing gown
of white ruffles
the groom
not so distinct
but there
with a glint in his eye
and all around them
are the well-wishers
the hopeful
the parents of the bride
and maybe
the parents of the groom
and it all fits
it all falls into place
the postcard of perfect bliss
a celebration of life
because that's what happens
when people get married
