FROM HEAVEN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

If you have ever lost a loved one, and had someone get married soon after, you know how
emotional a time that is for everyone...
I was the maid of honor for my sister Stacey's wedding and it was the most amazing,
most beautiful day!!
The only thing that could have made it any more perfect, would be having our
mama and sister there!!
My mom's best friend read a poem I wrote, about what I hope to be true...


FROM HEAVEN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

Excitement, happiness, every single bells been rung
Signs throughout the heavens, a celebrations soon to come.
Most angels start to congregate, whispering of who it could be
Someones loved ones getting married
With pure delight, they wait to see.

Peering down through all the clouds, all are patient with a smile
Soon one angel gets the spotlight, as their earthly loved one walks the aisle.
The bride stands before the alter, they lift her veil of lace
In the church the people smile, as they see her blushing face.
Tonight, two precious angels, feel the glow and fill with tears
They slowly step aside, all know now who's weddings here.

This time the bride is Stacey, radiant and full of bliss
But on earth there's a mom and sister, that today are truly missed.
Missed for the things they'd say today, would we all be one big mess?
Would they cry with us beforehand, would they love the wedding dress?
What would they think of Mike, the man that Stacey gets to marry?
Wouldn't it be lovely, to have just one more picture of our family?

The bride and groom hold hands, and vow to live a life of love
To appreciate the gifts God gives, even smallest from above.
The church fills with applause, and of course it carries
And the heavens fill with joy, as the earthly sister marries.

When you lose someone so close, the thought that you just never fathom
Is that God still keeps them near, you just cannot imagine.
They still share in all the joy and the wonders you are given
Even though you are on earth, and they are up in heaven.

For no distance is too far, no universe too wide
For a bond of family unity to ever possibly divide.
God will always let us love, even when he calls us home
To cherish what we had here, whether young, or fully grown.

So today, your wedding day, feel the close bonds and the love
From the families and the friends, in this room and up above.
Know that those not here are celebrating, but today, up with the Lord
And the journey they all took to him, is our greatest reward.
Make the most of even simple things that will surround you in your life
Feel blessed for every day you have, to spend as man and wife.

Hugs!
