This Is It
Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)
The days go by,
and the time grows near.
As I await the moment,
when I hold her near.
I walked the isle,
and in my mind.
Praying I don't crew up,
when I say my lines.
I practiced them well,
word for word.
Now it is time,
for them to be heard.
The preacher speaks,
but I do not hear.
For her beauty is true,
and her love is dear.
Without a thought,
and the time at hand.
I say the words,
and forever we stand.
