That was such a hard time
And a very hard task
And she bentched me for koach
Until it would pass
And Hashem gave me strength
When she walked through the door
And I davened for her
Like never before
With my tears freely streaming
Soaking tehillim and dress
My emotions so raw
Clear to all to impress
The difficult feelings
I was going through
As she walked down the aisle
To a life fresh and new
I poured out my soul
To our Father above
To remove my sadness
Make me only feel love
To rejoice in her simcha
With a full, complete heart
To dance and to show her
But was so overjoyed
And wishing her the best
With her chosson, her husband
In building their nest
I hoped she could see
My happiness inside
Behind the wet tears
That I could not hide
Her brocha to me
Touched me deep and hit hard
She knows just what I need
Where I have been scarred
And I cried as I pleaded
That her tefilla be heard
For a kallah so pure
Has koach in her word
And I hope that my thoughts
Could reach out to touch her
With the feelings they stir
