COUNTDOWN HAD BEGUN

COUNTDOWN HAD BEGUN

Oh hear the sound of laughter
If only in your dreams,
Your mind is where it matters,
Shut out the painful scenes.
~
Remember leaving the church,
Confetti in your hair,
Near to tumble with a lurch,
He caught you in mid air.
~
Then the sounding of car horns,
Hearing cheers from your friends
Upon the wind, once more born
The wedding at an end.
~
The procession led by you,
Your husband at the wheel,
The others not far behind,
They were close upon your heels.
~
You said ‘till death us do part,
Then started a life’s run,
Words from a faithful heart,
The countdown had begun.
