When That Day Finally Arrives

A wedding poem for the Bride, spoken in the first person:

How will I feel when that day finally arrives?

When all of life is a flux and my hope simply drives.

This day’s a day to wed—the day of fabulous dreams,

My hope, my God, my favour, for whom my groom esteems.

In numbness and happiness, overwhelmed and excited too,

These feelings I have, have never been quite so true,

All these years and my hope’s now come to be,

Right throughout this day my experience will be glee.
