Wedding day

it is Paul's sister's wedding day
lets go by the lake
set up the wooden tables
order the white cake

it is a calm afternoon
the sun is mellow on the water
white chairs and a white dress
the smell of fresh air and perfume

after the ceremony we dance
old and young alike
the salsa band is swinging
everyone's arms are in the air

the next day the wedding is over
the guests return to their homes
the fathers are allowed to rest
and the mothers take a long nap
