A Perfect Day Poem by Douglas Williams

Look at that ivory dress!
I don't think anything can compare.
I'll be the first to confess,
I've never seen a woman so beautiful and fair.

Nervously adjusting my tuxedo,
I think of all the time we spent together.
Looking at my watch as time goes,
Only a moment in forever.

Standing at the altar,
Waiting to fulfill our vows.
The music starts and I see her,
Walking slowly, so slowly down the aisle.

A tear forms in my eye,
As the music fades out slowly.
I glance towards the sky,
And thank God for sending my Heather Leigh!

Looking straight into her eyes,
I feel the tingles that love brings.
Our vows are spoken and we are tied,
Meanwhile caressing our newly given rings.

The preacher now says the now infamous phrase,
'You may kiss the bride.'
A tear trickles down her cheek as the veil raises,
And we kiss, love bursting inside.

We turn towards our friends and family,
We wave and start walking back down the aisle.
Knowing that we are now united eternally,
We can only muster tears and a smile.

It's only the beginning for us,
As the coming years watch our every move.
We'll certainly make things a fuss,
But in the end we will pull through.

But how does a perfect day end?
Only God would know such a day.
But I know this day he did send,
Oh, yes - That I can surely say.
