The doors of the fragrant church are opened slowly As the sunbeams and God’s grace shine softly down on you Once you were here before When you could barely grasp the door An amusing smile spreads across your face as you think Of the day when all you liked to wear was pink The days of purity and girlhood all wrapped into one On this warm spring day when you once again feel young If all those people weren’t there staring at your taupe face You would shed the veil and the frilly lace Go back to those days when you didn’t have to race But though life has gotten harder your heart has stayed the same Gaining nothing from this world - only love and purity - not fame The man of your dreams is in near site Waiting on the other side - but you don’t have to fight He loves you with a love as pure as you have for him There is nothing left to hide - no horrible, unknown sin You have told him everything there ever is to know And now because of your love for him - to the whole family you will show How you love him for who he is and not what you see Of course the looks do help but don’t compare to what’s hidden underneath You love him for how he seems to understand And how he always is there to hold your hand Boredom and wealth neither matter at all Since you’ve both been through so much together and can’t quite seem to fall You realized that you truly love him And that if you weren’t married soon, you would fall into sin After hours and days of constant prayer and days of conversation God had chosen you to be this man’s other half and even last name to mention So now, as you take your first step towards the rest of your life You ask yourself one question as you move forward to be his wife “Is this the man who God has chosen for me to spend my time- Living and forgiving and opening up my mind?” I smile as the warm air of late spring brushes my tanned and smiling face And I take my first step forward toward a life of married pace
