Best Gloriously Poems


Premium Member Gloriously Simple Wedding

Two-thousand miles to my destiny

Leaving all I'd ever known, behind,
I  traveled across the Nation.
Tears flowed as I waved to them
Still standing at the station.
He'd said he'd be the first in line
When I reached my destination..
If he wasn't there, what would I do?
My cash I'd have to ration.

The year was nineteen forty one.
No one had any money.
But I had the utmost faith in him,
The one who called me Honey.
The train pulled in, my love was there.
The cloudy skies turned sunny. 
There was no doubt we'd soon be tied 
With the bonds of matrimony.   

I don't remember any flowers
And gay ribbons were not rife.   
No family and friends were with me,
Our wedding cake was a Duncan Phife.. 
But my wedding was splendrous and special
Because it made me his wife;
Though only strangers were there to see
The start of our happy new life.

gold butterflies in noon fields
of sunflowers and daisies
greet black-eyed susan delight
yellow warblers sing

in the heart of hot summer
the song lives on forever
on the blooming paths of time
tales of summer love

Ordinarily can't contain the truth 
Of the openness goodness God has to choose 
His righteousness blessedness just keeps me hanging on His promises virtues glorious glorious keeps me strong 
And it won't be long 
And it won't be long 
Till I sing his praises

Grimacing Gloriously

Trials come and go now
Somehow smile during my own
Take a bow for now

Opportunities 
Curtains close and open here 
Possibilities 

Positivity 
Certainly can be joyous 
Freedom’s liberty

Sorry swims in me
You are forgiven, mercy
Merci for mercy!
