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
