To be a child at a parent's wedding Is strange, for there's a hint of darkness there. The past stands just offshore, although we're heading Inland into cool, fresh mountain air. The love you two have found is my love also; Your happiness this day is also mine. Where your heart leads you, mine will also follow As more than two lives in this act combine. So like a sun that burns off morning mist, Or like a rainbow gracing a blue sky, Or like the weeping of the newly blessed, Or like a deep-felt truth that cannot lie, This moment is far more than we can be, Joining you to you, and then to me.
