A sweet love, a sweet romance
Seventeen, sweet seventeen
The joys of life, the energy of youth
Dinners, movies, walks around the square all alight
A car ride, a profession, a question
Officially in love as seventeen can be
Days, months, years of pure joy
Loss, laughter, life lived together
Toes in the sand, waves crashing all around
A kneel, a ring, a question
Tears of joy overflowing, a new journey imagined
Dinner overlooking the vast blue
Lost order, but nothing could quell the joy
A free Mai Tai, an unmovable smile, a love to last a lifetime
Planning songs, choosing a dress, decorating for the affair
Eleven months of preparation culminate in an hour
Nerves and weakness engulf as the reality of a forever commitment sets in
A walk down the aisle, an exchange of vows, and a prayer
Life together, love forever, the journey continues
