It seems much like any other eve
yet there is a glimpse in the sky
a glimmer of rain and a rainbow appears
my daughter moves so majestically and gracefully
while watchful eyes from above look on...

her spirit is there
i catch just a quiver
knowing that she is silently
 beckoning to her loved ones

the young man
gallant in his 1943 plymouth
brushes into this moment
so awakened so alive
his smile reflecting
upon his silver tinged
boutonniere

stars will shine tonight
as another milestone
in a young woman's life
meets the meteor
of every little girl's
dreams

to you my jess
I wish the world.
