Summer Altar Date
Never hindered by lock-down pressure height
summer altar date wafts love triumphant
vanquishing angst of scheduled wedding plight
tying hearts beating as one, so vibrant.
Surmounting tough attacks of ennui dart
engaged souls, awaiting marital vows
steadfastly nestled in prayer rampart
assured for life-building home to espouse.
Compliant to protocol enforcement
notwithstanding social distancing task
romance blazes, sealed with “I do” moment
obviously testified by joyed-face mask.
Cleaving* together now with God’s favour
they’re a couple His blessings to savour.
*Matthew 19:5 …For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh…
Congrats and Best wishes, Bro. Warren and Sis. Karen. I love you both in the Lord.
