This poem was inspired by two lines in a movie well known to most of
you, "Bridges Over Madison County". First there is the powerful emotion
of Meryl Streep's character asking, "I wonder if anyone can see the
beauty of it", and then the best line, "I'll only say this once. I've
never said it before. This kind of certainty comes but just once in a
lifetime", by Clint Eastwood's character. This is more than love, it is
a deep unexplainable connection, a true gift: "This kind of certainty".
Time passing sings loudly
Measure not the Journey
Nor the choices made
Rather unions formed,
Vows spoken freely,
Promises of everlasting love,
They are the hands elevating our spirit
To touch God
Can you see the Beauty of it?
Their faces one with a higher power
As they join with the other, now
Two people peacefully united,
Delivering breaths of light
To a world seeking grace
There is such beauty in it
Holding our heads high
We donate our tears
As they vow to Have and to Hold
We cry as we too have witnessed
God's love bless our own union
Each clinging tear our gift to them
Knowing the light of the Holy Spirit
Shall be their arms on tired days
We have seen the beauty of it
Embracing on this joyous day
Blessed by God,
Witnessed by family and friends
Each one us gives to them
The singular power of Faith
Knowing Faith to be God's timeless
Sustainer of life and eternal joy
That is the Beauty of it
Wishing you well, Barb
Find your peace and find your place in this world
Smile even when it hurts
Complete your life plan
See the beauty around you, it's plentiful
You'll find it in the smallest things
and always remember, you are loved
