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.
