CHRISTIAN POETRY # 2 - TAKING THEIR SACRED VOWS

TALKING THEIR SACRED VOWS

So, what if the bride didn’t wear her gown of white.

So, what if the groom didn’t wear his tux.
For these two pious loving people wanted to get wed.
Wanted to get wed, and time had been of a crucial matter

With the bride’s mother on death’s door.

Her dying wish was to see her daughter wed
They could have easily made their wedding civil.
But doing this wouldn’t have sat well with her clan.

The clan gathered together, got into their cars.

With her mother in a van and the bed she’s been laying in.
Drove to their family’s church.
Once inside they roused the priest from his meditation.

The priest married them forthwith

Married them forthwith in the House of the Lord.
With her mother’s smile gleaming from ear to ear.
She kissed her only daughter.

She turned to her husband and gave him a kiss too.

Saying “I’m glad to have lived to see this day.”
She looked at her savior there on the cross.
She smiled, said “Thank You Jesus”, and then peacefully died.
