This was written for the wedding of my daughter, Elise to Jeff Falk. Jeff is a quiet, 
thoughtful guy who is proud to let Elise take center stage. The wedding, a beautiful 
affair, took place on 17 July, 2005. Almost everyone seemed happy and I certainly was.


Wedding Wishes

Elise, you grew so big and pretty
Before you moved to SF city
So far away from mom and me
You wisely chose your odyssey
Once there you started out anew
And met the man whose just for you
Remember all your days the way
You feel when you're with Jeff today
Keep him the center of your life
A haven from the harsh world's strife
Your ear when no one else will hear
A mate whose love dispels all fear
And if you can do this you will
Have found the way to keep time still.
