I found God’s note for me today
Tender words written on pages of white
Promises of renewal and hope
Springing forth as the evening dew
Sweet aromas of love yielding to the heart
Sending into the day
Life giving songs of blessings to come
Surprises like seeds planted in fertile soil
Grow beyond today
Creating the harvest of bounty
We will call our new life.
Lost in the shadows of time
Beyond all care
Moments becoming only memories
Of broken dreams
Fragments of lost days and nights
Lifting up the remnants of many yesterdays
Finding only empty places left unfilled
Dots and dashes of no more
Seeking what never was to be.
As night falls on Autumn days
Winter kisses blow across the land
Frost sparkles in the moonlight
Of the Harvest Moon
Warmth tries to stay but loses out
The chilly air has won
Holidays beckon us onward
To deep festivities of turkey and tinsel
Lights dangle from roofs of many houses
Just to shine with yuletide wonder
Be ready! as winter kisses blow across the land.
My mind says to let you go
But my heart says absolutely no
I walk around in turmoil and grief
Lost in sadness and such disbelief
I only want what is best for you
But I don’t know what else to do
If only I could make some plans
Put my life in God’s perfect hands
But I’m so afraid you would be lost
And I am not willing to pay the cost
So I wander down this lonesome trail
To give up means that I might fail
To have the life I want with you
I still care so much that is true
For time is not always as it seems
In my world of shattered dreams
Today I have made a choice at last
Choosing to become complete
I will take the moments in my past
That may be sad or oh so sweet
And knit them to my heart today
With the golden strands of life
And starlight from the Milky Way
Keeping joy to guard against the strife
I faced my hardships and trials
Walking the darkness of the scary night
Following the wrong paths of denials
Yet always coming back into the light
Many times it was so tiring just to cope
But knowing in the end I would be okay
My dream knew there was always hope
And, Father God, to show me the way.
I dream of a faraway beautiful land
A place that is majestic and grand
With gates of pearls and jasper stone
I dream of a mansion that is all my own
With airy rooms so light and free
Surrounded by a brillant crystal sea
I dream of my Savior’s beautiful face
Who will come and take me to this holy place
For He has promised and will keep His Word
I dream of His white horse and flaming sword
The angels singing harmony across the skies
As He removes the evil with its tormented cries
I dream of going to my eternal place in glory
For I believed the Bible’s old, old story
Now I dream that all will heed the warning
And get right with God before the morning
He will split the Eastern sky with lightning bright
It will not be a dream visiting you in the night
I invite you to go with me to that beautiful faraway land.
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.
Captured in the whirlwind
Of this thing called life
Carried upon each thought
Time pushing and pulling me
To where my destiny grows.
With my heart in my hand
I offer to you
The best that I am
The worse that I’ll be
I’ll not promise a thing
That I can’t keep
But with all of my being
My soul and my mind
I do promise to love you
For the rest of time
I’ll make mistakes
As you will see
Cry a tear or two
This is me!
I’ll proabably get mad
I sometimes do
When things go wrong
Or I get blue
When I can’t be strong
I’ll leave it to you
To be patient and kind
You’ll know what to do
Just hold me close
Show me you care
In your own special way
Always be there
And in no time at all
With our love we will see
The very best me
I was created to be! (9-11-2006) Read at our wedding November 10, 2006
When dawn wakes the morning skies
And darkness is no more
We will face whatever is in our lives
With faith we cannot ignore
Knowing that sad tears will not fill our eyes
Just joy and true happiness galore
When dawn wakes the morning skies
And darkness is no more.
