children dancing
far gathered people
an italian wedding
family and friends
pomp and tradition
all attention to the pair
priest and prayer and song
gathered then we to
the celebration table
food and wine and talk
children underfoot
glasses emptying filling
people are smiling
deeply satisfied
remembering and wishing
good fortune and joy
each heart is beating
life and hope for tomorrow
children are dancing |
