“Barefoot Bride” (for Mike & Bonnie)

Over the hills and far away

Oh darling darling darling

She walked barefoot over the bridge

White train following her

Flowers in her hands and hair

Father at her side, arms linked

She stood to face her man

Walked through a crowd of love

The crowd disappeared and it was just them

Eyes locked

Grateful

Usually unspoken understood words let loose affirming confirming bare and beautiful

A kiss to seal the deal

She wrapped her arms around him

He, her

Together

Forever

No matter the weather

This day the sun shone

God’s love abound

Smiling

Arms raised it was time to celebrate

Their love

They walked back over the bridge husband and wife

A new chapter started in the story of their life

Over any hill and no matter how far away

They will have each other

Walking a while

Together

They’ve got so much, so much
