There's this veil that I own

that stood for many things.

It was passed down the line

of family and diamond rings.

It stood for the snow

where my mother had died,

and let me know,

she was always by my side.

It stood for the friendships

in the future I will make,

for the lack of them now

was a dream, so I'll wake.

It stood for the hope

of a world far from tame,

that we can work with each other,

know everyone name by name.

And lastly,

it stood for the happiness,

that I experience now,

as I walk down the aisle,

this veil upon my brow.

And this veil tells a story

that only I will know.

Of the hope and the joy

as the organs sing low.
