The Wedding
The moment the church door swung wide open,
A hush swept across the congregation.
Holding white calla lilies in her hands,
The bride blushed in crimson pink as she stands.
From the pews, one and all rose to their feet.
Gushing over the bride, stunning and sweet.
The wedding march began to resonate,
And daddy’s little girl’s no longer eight.
Father and daughter, they walked down the aisle.
Both joy and sadness veiled under his smile.
A step at a time, closer to goodbye,
He gave away the apple of his eye.
As she’s about to start a whole new life,
Daddy’s little girl will soon be a wife.
At the altar where the bridegroom awaits,
He recalled how they used to be classmates.
Over math, they became soul mates and friends,
Lovers and partners, each other’s godsend.
Now, she by his side and he by her side,
Their bond and union never to divide.
She looked up at the beaming boy-turned-man,
Who went down on one knee, yes, in Japan.
From the corner of her eye, he teared up.
Daddy was careful but sadness caught up.
Her eyes gazed at the man-turned-boy daddy,
For her, he would give up his world gladly.
She hugged daddy, all happy and teary.
“How lucky I am that two men love me!”
