Analysis of A moment in time



With the setting of the sun
and melody of the sea
freinds and family came to see
the joining of hearts as one
you stood side by side
with rise,and fall of ocean tide
with each others ring a loving bond
the memories will be so fond
blessed from above free like your love
into the west fly two white dove
threw laughter,and the tears
together you will be
lasting throughout the years
this moment by the sea
