As Graceful as A Swan

By John Zawacki, April 3, 2019 — We had been excited for the longest time. It was at one of our favorite churches, Christ the King in Morristown. As I was waiting for the ceremony to start, I began to get antsy with anticipation and decided to go for a quick walk, seeing as I still had some time. I stepped out into the grass and made my way to the church pond where a lone swan was swimming around looking for food. And I thought to myself how beautifully the swan moved; looking like it was simply gliding across the surface, and in the perfect spring weather with a breeze in the trees, I thought there was no prettier sight. I looked at my watch and finally, it was time so I went to take my place by the priest. There she was, gliding down the aisle as if she were a swan. Now, this is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.
