Wedding In The Park

Wedding In The Park
By Larry Linville

The altar centered on three trees
in a cluster side by side.
Wild flowers and prairie grass
around the bark was tied.
A meadow spread out to the west
its grass dancing in the breeze.
Large crows flew over it
and floated with greatest ease.
The sky was lightly overcast
the sun blocked out above.
Still you could feel its warmth
as a symbol of all the love.
The vows were spoken – rings exchanged
there was nothing that was amiss.
The crowd waited eagerly
for the special wedding kiss.
When the preacher came near the end
the clouds began to yield.
The sunlight soon was spotted
at the far side of the field.
Like in sync it slowly crept
near the bride and the groom
as both of the mothers wept.
When the pastor said, “husband and wife”
the people had to stare
because the sun hit like a spotlight
on the couple standing there.
