As the father of the bride he knew just what to do
but today he found the tables had been turned,
his daughters grew to womanhood, he loved them strong and true
and now a deeper love at last he yearned.
The mother of his children left an aching in his heart
her death had meant a little of him died,
in the Autumn of his life he would relish a new start
with a lady that he loved right by his side.
His eldest daughter proudly gave her Dad up to his bride,
the little ones were bridesmaids dressed in blue,
the speeches warm and loving, the smiles were bright and wide,
the love between the couple simply grew.
My picture shows him telling his best friend about her past
and her children who could not attend the day,
but despite their aging years he just knew their love would last
and together man and wife, they’d always stay.
