Wedding on Poplar Hill

For Lori & Travis by Butch Houchens

I will meet you there, my Love

Where the splendid Linden’s sprawling

In the presence of those above

With family and friends…enthralling.

There, lovely lawns lay open

Like our eagerly join hearts:

On the hush, enduring words are spoken

And our journey together starts.

Know, I will meet you there, always

In those timeless and loving places

Until the tracks of all our days

are etched upon our smiling faces.

So, as I take your waiting hand….

Gently… and quiver at the thrill.

I promise my Love will faithfully stand

Like the grand old tree on Poplar Hill.
