Jamaican Bride
White whiter still
The smile so clear
I remember it and
Will do so forever
As you drifted through
The garden into view
By your side your father
Smiles mingled and spread
They crossed before you
Reaching our friends
Then bouncing back to you
We waited
I nervous but so so happy
The wind whipped up the garden
Into a frenzied dance
We watched your beauty walk in
A frozen moment
Our friends looked
Ady shuffled by Nic’s side
Helen and Roop’s beamed
Kim filmed as Debbie shot
And your mum shone
By my side
Then the preacher opened his good book
We came together
As the blue rushed up the beach
Each wave scrambling up
The bleached white sand
Jostling the sea horses and star fish
For the best view
And Jesus went to Galilee
And we swore
And became one
And your deep beauty
Eclipsed all this
Out did the falling sun
Your eyes a deeper blue
Than the ocean looking on
You dazzled the tropical flowers
That watched from their stand in the garden
And you smiled
And we all laughed
And your mum shone
And we where Married
