In the Bronx, a story unfolds so sweet,
Mary Morton, at 99, wanted a special feat,
Her granddaughter's marriage was her dream,
To witness love's bliss in a grand theme.
A retired assistant principal with a heart of gold,
Longed to see Melanie in a union bold,
With Andrew Trotter, her love so true,
Their bond cherished like morning dew.
In Secret Gardens Miami, the scene was set,
As Mary Morton's eyes with tears were wet,
Leading the celebration, a beaming sight,
A family's love shining bright in the night.
Generations united, bonds so strong,
Love and joy in a heartfelt song,
Mary's wish granted, a dream come alive,
A grandmother's heart in love does thrive.
