They Dreamed
A carriage ride back to a palace she dreamed,
Walking down the aisle her eyes were agleam.
Her life changed in this single moment of time
While the carillon bells sang out their sweet chime.
In the street, people cheered to show their esteem;
Wishing happy days and romantic moonbeams,
And all the things that make a happy lifetime.
A perfect way to celebrate this springtime.
Standing at attention before the altar
He awaits her long arrival with torture.
Once she’s beside him, he tells her she’s beautiful,
In a deep sigh that is completely blissful.
With so much focus on pageantry and glamour
It’s sweet that he remembers to honor her
With words of love that are soft as a petal.
His smile says that his words are completely truthful.
Smiles grow wider as they leave the abbey.
When the sun breaks through they pause doorway
As if Mother Nature blesses their union
And shines her light down upon England’s scions.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wave humbly
As the horse-drawn carriage takes them home smartly.
They are the world’s new hope, a shining beacon.
On a blank page a new chapter is begun.
