Arise Dear Child

Sunlight sparkles on morning dew

Robins sing sweet chords so true

Gentle breezes seem to say

Arise, Dear Child, it’s your wedding day.

Clouds are whispering-dancing free

This wonderous day is just for thee

Old hurts are gone, all is new

So, Arise Dear Child, this song’s for you.

Roses and orchids, their sweet smell send

Lilacs waving like a welcomed friend

Joined this day by a golden braid

Arise, Dear Child, be not afraid.

Glory sings in angelic praise

Your hearts as one to the Father you’ll raise

With holy hands from Heaven above

He will bless this union with eternal love.

So, Arise, Dear Child, take your place

With love and mercy, goodness and grace

Side by side you will step before His throne

Never again to walk alone.

  1. You have a natural gift for words. The message is clearly beautiful too. πŸ™‚ I especially love how you drove the point home — “never again to walk alone.”

    1. Thank you, Kristel-This was a poem I wrote for some friends of mine who had been on the verge of divorce but decided to let God be the healer in their marriage. Now it reminds me that someday soon God will say to me-Arise, Dear Child, This is Your Wedding Day, and His Son will come for us.
