The Girl I Wed

Thank you for the confusion Lord,
    thank you for the doubt

Thank you for those unsure moments
   when I could neither whisper nor shout

Thank you for the people Lord
    who loved me or hated in vain

But thank you most for the girl I wed
   —who took away my pain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
