I walked on
my new legs
up the aisle,
Guy beside me
to give me away.
It seemed strange
walking the aisle,
unable to see the flowers
with my blind eyes,
but smelling them
as I walked.
Guy stood me
next to Philip;
I sensed him beside me.
I couldn't believe
I was getting married.
Last year
I never thought life
would be worth living again
after losing my sight and legs
in the bombing raid.
I had wished
I could have died,
but now I have legs again,
and Philip,
and a new maid Iris.
I stood there
staring forward
as if I could see everything.
We exchanged vows
and we kissed.
