Strolling across the beach
Hand in hand
Walks the beautiful couple
One drops to their knee
A ring is given
They are happy
Rushing back home
Sharing the news
To their families
One side is happy
The other is not
They are distressed
The date arrives
The seats are set
And flowers are places
Last minute corrections made
The music starts
They are nervous
"I do" is both given and received
A first dance is held
A toast is made
The cake is cut
Forever has begun
They are excited
The years go by
And a piece is missing
Another being is needed
To give love and support
But can't
They are hurt
The go to an office
To fight the decision
That the state had made
The case is won
And a beautiful baby arrives
They are proud
18 years go by
Long and stressful
The child is grown
Ready to begin the journey
Of the wonders of life
They are scared
The time goes on
And love has never failed
A parade sounds fun
Sounds good to get out
Someone attacks the crowd
They are gone
