Blessing From Heaven On a Bittersweet Day
The dress is zipped, the veil is in
One last touch up and dry my tears
Another bobby pin
I need you here to calm my fears
But here I stand feeling all alone
Looking up at heaven
Wishing I could bring you home
Waiting for the clock to strike seven
Here comes grandpa to take you place
He happily stands by my side
But I know he sees the hurt on my face
He tells me I’m such a beautiful bride
What a bitter sweet day
Now I’m ready to go
I take a moment and pray
Just to say “Hello”
Now down the aisle I walk
I see Joel’s face
Walking into wedlock
I feel such a warming embrace
Now I know though I didn’t that day
You weren’t missing a thing
That I’m confident enough to say
I believe this was a heaven sent blessing
For when I was looking later
In one certain photo
There is was, it couldn’t be clearer
A cross with such a beautiful glow
Then I knew I wasn’t alone
My prayer had been answered
And you came back home
