"And God Said It Was Good"

'Twas a beautiful Summer Sabbath Day,
when first he saw her hair so golden.
But alas, he was sure she was saying "no way!"

He thought that, to another, she was beholden.

On a glorious Sabbath Day in November, (7th, 1976)

he found himself next to this lady in white.

Her roommates arranged a dinner to remember,

knowing their hearts would take to flight.

He hinted of a dance

for a Hawkins named Sadie,

She took a chance

for she was a brave lady.

Selecting music for the next Ward dance,

he decided he, too, would take a chance.

He asked her to come check out a 'rock band' --

when his car 'broke down', 'twas placed on her hand!

There 'neath the lights of a temple so rare,

they basked in the glow of that sacred sight.

A passerby asked "Did they need any care?"

They smiled and said "everything's ALL-right".

Across an altar in Salt Lake City,

their vows were sealed by a prophet of God.

And as they pondered eternity,

they embraced each other... and the iron rod.
