Posted: Thursday, October 28, 2004 Word Count: 135 Summary: When my daughter took A-level art, she studied Waterhouse, whose paintings are based on poems (well some of them anyway) and for her set piece she wanted a poem with the same title, Dressed For Ceremony, so I wrote this. I'll let the poem speak for itself, but the painting was amazing. She got a B for her efforts. |
Dressed For Ceremony
I never thought this aisle would seem so long;
Or that the organ music played so loud,
I only hope that nothing will go wrong
And on this special day I'll do you proud.
I often call to mind the words you said;
"You are the sweetest girl I've ever known".
Such happy childhood memories fill my head,
With you around I never felt alone.
My love for you has blossomed through the years
And each step brings me closer now to you.
My heart beats faster as the moment nears
When everyone will hear you say "I do".
And so at last the moment now has come;
The one I've thought and dreamed of all my life,
But although for me you are the one,
Today somebody else becomes your wife.
