"Beauty and Grace"

She walks down the isle, holds her head up high.
Takes in a deep breath and lets out a sigh.
Memories of childhood dance through her mind.
For a moment she travels back through time.

With so much beauty and full of grace.
She looks like an angel standing there in her place.
She trembles a little and tear falls from her face.
She gracefully walks and doesn't loose pace.

The sun through the pane shines directly on her.
She glistens like stardust as her eyes are transferred.
To the man that is waiting so handsome and tall.
The grace of this beauty has him mesmerized in awe.

A golden ring on her right hand passed down from her Mother.
And now on the left he places yet another.
He pledges his love, "until death do us part."
This woman with grace has stolen his heart.

He stares in her eyes at the love that she shows.
He sees the beauty and grace comes from within her soul.
With pride and honor she puts his ring in place.
He loves this woman with beauty and grace.
