for the girl waiting for her future husband

i always dreamed of walking down the aisle

wearing a long veil and white dress,

believing that when the wedding bells rang,

i would finally feel blessed.

waiting, i began to wonder

if He even heard my prayers,

little did i know, that all along,

He was working to prepare.

through the waiting season of my life,

He was teaching me to find fulfillment

in being a daughter before becoming a wife.

for no earthly love can carry my deepest need,

a heart that longs for eternity

can only be filled by Him indeed.

now, when i walk down the aisle

it will be a blessing sent from above,

not because it will complete me,

but because it will be a covenantal reflection

of His everlasting love.
