A gentle breeze causes the chuppah to sway,
The
ChossonÂ’s head bows, his eyes close to pray.
The violinÂ’s haunting
melody, wafts through the air
The gravity of the moment is felt by all who
are there.
The Kallah approaches, her step filled with grace
Her flowing
white gown, her face veiled in lace.
The mothers escort her, candles
flickering and bright,
To the chuppah they lead her on this clear,
dark night.
The bridal party circles the Chosson seven times - he is king
The
queen Kallah stops at his right, to receive her gold ring.
Three
generations of their ancestorsÂ’ souls hover near,
A solemn quiet descends on
the guests gathered here.
The chuppah canopy conceals the starry sky above,
As together
they stand, their hearts filled with new love.
Sacred words, ages old,
blessings spoken with heart
Joining two souls as one, may their ways never
part.
A last sip of wine, break the glass, great joy fills the air
Mazel
tov! Mazel tov! TheyÂ’ve a new life to share.
May their years be filled
with abundant blessing galore:
Good health, beautiful children, prosperity
and more!
May they greet each morning with a light in their eyes,
May their
happiness grow and their spirits always rise.
May they fill their home with
chessed every single day
May they raise a loving family in the
proper Torah way.
Please smile upon them Hashem, forever more
And grant them all that they
may ever implore.
Let the time of Moshiach come NOW, right away
And bring
everyone a peace that is here to stay.
