HAPPY THE BRIDE

Soft rain was soaking the ground
as an anxious mother glanced outside.
It was her daughter's wedding day;
rain was not welcomed by the bride.

"The weather, dear, is sure to change"
and she spoke the words sincerely,
as her daughter dressed in a satin gown,
but she understood her feelings clearly.

"Happy the bride that the sun shines on"
an old saying that still holds true,
Soon the sun came out to dry the tears
amd blessed the bride who said "I DO!"
