Waiting for the Bride

She was a little late
for the service, for the wedding
lucky for me, we were already wed
This day for the church, before God, our family
But we were already husband and wife
living our life together already
father and mother for these
magical girls, treasures each day
She was late, and I was laughing
even as I paced the sanctuary, the Narthex,
the front steps of the church
Wondering where my bride could ever be
happy she was already my wife

About our wedding day, April 23, 2005,
when Ruth was late, because
the flowers were left at our house
