Love, Patience and Time
Time will pass by quickly
The hours are not our own
We may dream of being
together to shorten the days
of being alone
We know not what the future
may bring but only the past
is strong; strong in our minds and
in our hearts and there where
the memories must stay my
love until we are united as one.
Love and patience shows a purpose
in our lives because we both have given
our lives to Christ
And when the day comes for us to
say our vows that very night
our emotions can be arouse
With God help we will wait.
Like the budding of a flower
when it is open right it is a
beautiful sight, with its
gorgeous colors on every leaf, with its
loveliness for the whole world to see.
Our marriage will be a time to share the blessings
that God has given to us so sweetly.
Written May 27, 1984, when I was engaged to be married
