Twenty years ago today, our daughter, Cathy and her husband, Greg, were married at the Thorncrown Worship Center. So, in honor of their special day, I am posting a poem I wrote to my husband on our 11th wedding anniversary :
Eleven years ago today,
On such an afternoon,
I became your blushing bride,
And you, my handsome groom.
It seems but only yesterday
I floated down the aisle,
And, there you stood just waiting,
With your sweet, familiar smile.
I thought that day my heart would burst
With the love it held for you.
That it must be but just a dream,
When you softly said "I do."
"I now pronounce you man and wife".
The words ring yet so clear.
A lifetime I was now to share
With the one I held most dear.
God must have surely smiled that day
When He looked down from above,
For from that day you've been my own,
To have, to hold, to love.
