Confetti

I really don’t remember
I was so very small
My parents took me to the church
I couldn’t even crawl
The priest was very gentle
With the holy water flow
Wrapped up tightly in my shawl
The confetti blew like snow 

When I met my Angel 
I knew she was for me
We’d spend our lives together 
And raise our family
Outside the church we gathered 
Our faces all aglow
While the cameras clicked and whirred 
The confetti blew like snow

Now my Angel’s passed away
She's gone to God above 
All the years we spent together 
Happily in love
Tears roll slowly down my cheeks 
I wish it wasn’t so
Sitting alone outside the church 
The confetti blew like snow
