A little older, a little more mature
not like her younger sisters that day
She was with mom,
up in the front of the sanctuary
standing with mom, on this special day
dressed and coiffed a bit more,
walking with her older cousin
part of this day, of renewal
of commitment before God
as she had been that December ‘morn
sharing with us our joy
our union as husband and wife
a family brought together by God
April 23, 2008
our wedding, April 23, 2005
