On This Day as I Stand Before You

"On This Day as I Stand Before You."

On this day as I stand before you with sweet
anticipation of speaking my heart to you.
Words that were deeply felt of all the emotions
and memories of together what we've been through.
Here I stand with butterflies and in my sight is the most
wonderful and beautiful person in the world I know of.
On this day I stand before you in the presence of
many about to marry the one that I Love.
The tears in your eyes and the smile on your face
are just the visible signs along with a radiant glow.
But what isn't seen is the Joy you feel in your heart
because you have someone finally who Loves you so.
You've had your share of heartbreaks and disappointments
but when you had given up one day I came into your life.
What I saw was someone truly sweet and what I felt
wanted me to make you my wife.
I had my share of disappointments from those who had
been hurt themselves and were lashing out at me.
They thought I was like the others but your eyes are
meant for looking it is with your heart you truly see.
But it's hard to see when your heart has been broken and
ripped out and torn apart as well.
You see understanding is a wonderful thing because you
know for the wrong they did you they've been through hell.
On this day as I stand before you at long last I'm very
happy and I know the fulfillness of what a Loving heart can feel.
A Love that comes from someone who has longed to share it
from a heart that is so beautiful and so real.
Both of us who were meant for one another from the very
beginning but were kept apart until now.
Two who were sent in different directions are now standing
before one another about to recite their vows.
On this day as I stand before you and speak my heart
and I hear the words of yours so beautifully flow.
This day is being recorded in Heaven and the Most High
is in attendance this I feel and know.
After we seal our marriage with a kiss there will be
more to follow that will be breath taking.
Because tonight when I stand before you in our bedroom
the most beautiful Love we will be making.

Shalom
