Wedding Poem
ORDAINED BY GOD
For years we waited on the Lord
Our trust in him complete
Knowing that in God’s own time
He would send us a helpmeet
Then God brought us together
And with each test and trial
Our love came forth as pure gold
Because we knew all the while
That if we delighted ourselves in the Lord
He’d give us the desires of our heart
And that if we waited patiently on Him
A special blessing he would impart
And so God ordained our union
Today we become husband and wife
Join with us in praising God
As we begin our new life

50th Wedding Anniversary Poem
A Love More Precious Than Gold
Our love is truer than the vows we made
So many years ago
Our love has stood through things that
Only the two of us will ever know
Our love took us through the death
Of both of our parents and one child
Our love plus the love of God
Is how we both survived
Our love has lasted longer than
Some lifetimes, yes, it’s true
We raised four beautiful daughters
Today we have grands and great-grands too
Our love is more precious than
The fifty years we celebrate
It’s stronger and it’s worth more
Than real gold is today
If you’re wondering how we found a love
So real, so true, and so blessed
Our love was born from the love of God
That’s the secret of our success.

Funeral/Home Going Poem
IF I COULD HELP SOMBODY
If I could help somebody
Whether family neighbor or friend
God blessed me to do it
Until the very end
If I could help somebody
With encouragement, money, or advice
I was happy and willing to do it
I didn’t mind the sacrifice
I didn’t mind because I loved you
You were all very special to me
Everyone I met knew how proud
I was of all my family
The years we had were good ones
Full of good times and memories
Trips up and down the highways
And wonderful family gatherings
If I could help somebody I did
And I enjoyed every minute of it all
I was blessed to be a blessing
Until I answered my Father’s call

Love Poem
YOU ARE
You are one million beautiful things
all rolled into one
at night you are my moonlight
in the day your are my sun
You're someone I can talk to
any time and any where
you are my best friend because
I know you really care
You have the nack for making me
feel like someone worthwhile
whenever I'm down one of the few things
that lifts me is your smile
You are all of this to me and more
I hope we never part
but even if we do, we won't
because you are my heart

Inspirational Poems
THE DOOR
I opened a door once in my life,
and boldly I stepped in,
Waiting on the other side for me,
were pleasures wrapped in sin.
From room to room for several years,
I roamed each wicked floor,
Until I heard Jesus calling me,
from the other side of the door.
He beckoned me through each hallway,
past each room that I had tried,
Ever sweetly calling my name,
until I made it safely back outside.
Only to discover another door,
where Jesus stood waiting for me,
Sure of His love, I stepped through,
His door to eternity.

THANK YOU
Thank you, Blood of Jesus,
that cleansed me through and through,
Thank you Holy Spirit,
deep within me, tried and true.
Thank you Jesus, my Savior,
deliverer of my soul,
For anointing me with your power,
to face temptations bold.
Thank you God, for proving once again,
that you are always near,
Waiting to give me the strength I need,
when my humble cry you hear.
Thank you Lord, my Messiah come,
these words can't fully express,
My thanks, my praise, and my gratefulness,
for a life so full and blessed.

I PRAY TO GOD FOR YOU
As you read these poems,
Each verse and every line,
I pray to God you're granted,
A special peace of mind.
I pray each poem uplifts you,
Just like they uplift me,
I pray that you're encouraged,
To trust God and believe.
I pray each printed poem,
Leads you to God's printed word;
And that as you read the scriptures,
Somehow God's voice is heard.
I pray for your salvation,
That in your life God's will be done,
And that you'll find the joy I've found,
In Jesus Christ, God's son.
