A Love Story
It seemed there was a secret
Desperation filled the crowd
But the two of them would keep it
True love won't speak aloud
Most couples spend years
Figuring marriage out
But the truth fueled her tears
As vows escaped her mouth
A humble, crumbled sheet
survived palms and pockets
The map to her heartbeat
And knowledge to stop it
She unfolded it still
Trembling hands and moistened cheeks
Jesus took the wheel
And caused her voice to speak
The poetry that followed
Was the icing to their cake
The honest words she chose
Put dignity at stake
But her courageous, faithful leap
Landed safe on common ground
As his love was just as deep
Still, he wouldn't let her drown
Each guest received a dose
Of joy as refreshment
We were honored to be so close
If only for a minute
