Wedding Poem

Wedding Bells

Author: David Harris

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 
that should have been ringing 
out for you and me. 
Now down the isle you walk 
with someone else on your arm 
instead of me. 
We thought in our love 
we had everything 
until he came along 
and swept you off your feet 
taking you from my loving arms. 
Now up the isle you go with him 
to take your wedding vows 
as I stand watching, 
just another face in the crowd. 
I could say something 
but I won’t, 
as this is your wedding day. 
I shall simply slip into the shadows 
and then slowly slip away. 
You have a new life before you, 
one I hope will bring you joy 
as the wedding bells keep ringing
for your wedding day.
