Bonnie

This has been a recent poem published by my friend, Ian @ Multiply and I found it very interesting so I'm forwarding it here to share with you. Hope you will like it too!
eNjOy! Have a pleasant day!
Graceful movement down the aisle,
Father’s pride and Mother’s joy,
On her lips the bridal smile,
Dazzles now the waiting boy.

Father grasps her tighter still,
Loathe is he to lose his girl,
Dove chirps on the window sill,
Waits to see the veil unfurl.

Mother sobs with silent tear,
Joy and sadness mingled there,
Sobered with a silent fear
,Wonders how the loss she’ll bear.

Long ago the baby born,
Mother’s joy and Father’s pride,
Now from Mother’s side she’s torn,
Baby girl now radiant bride.

Quickly all those years passed by,
Memories steeped in family love,
Bonnie catches Mother’s eye,
Glancing back to boy above.

Boy advances ramrod straight,
Takes his bride from Father’s arm,
Look of love for his soul mate,
Couple’s love the parent’s balm.

Both of them have said “I do”
Now they’re married man and wife,
Parents greet the happy two,
Wish them joy and peace in life.
