“The Perfect Wedding”

I didn’t need a dress
or an aisle to
enter
into the future
God’s planned for me

I didn’t need permission
or counseling to
know
God’s will for my
life with you forevermore

I didn’t need a ring
or vows written
down
in my heart’s
the truth of our love

all I needed was God
telling me to
step
into your arms
where He’s writing the rest

“Embracing Discovery”

about love

they said
‘you’ll know’
but I didn’t know
until I knew

for everyone
it’s different
for me
it was a hug
that embraced
my heart

how do you let go
of something so real

I questioned
I cried
I listened to God
and asked my love
to marry me

love is looking
into the eyes of your husband
across the way
wanting to climb over the table
to get to him
but you don’t
because you know
he’s not going anywhere

now I know
and can tell others
‘you’ll know’
and then watch them
not know
until they know

“Change of Scenery”

I’ve found what I was waiting for
right in front of me

I wonder how often that happens

to look for something
in plain sight
to search for something
you step over
to reach for something
in your hand

God’s been teaching me
through struggle
and revealing Himself
through love

Disney had it wrong
church is something different
but straight from God
won’t be denied

friendship in love
love in friendship

simply given
complicated to receive

so many questions of
should I
if I
what about

but none of them trump
what He says
none of it disguises
His desire in my heart

love is a choice
choosing to love is an option
