Rose In Waiting
` Susan Y Nikitenko~
2009
I wrote this in 2009 for my son in-law;
For his and my daughters marriage.
I didn't know who it was for when I wrote it,
God meant for me to write it for
them.
God just knew it before I did.
It's written in the perspective
of the groom
How lovely my rose in waiting;
Your eyes like green crystals shine.
God has blessed me with your love:
And now forever you'll be mine.
Your hair shimmering, flows like silk.
Your essence permeates my heart.
Soon we will be making our home;
And tasting of loves sweet honey comb.
We shall travel this road together;
Treasuring the miracles of life.
Watching each flower bloom and grow;
And cherish life as man and wife.
Hand in hand called to the mission field;
We will submit and serve
the Lord.
Hand in hand, me and my lovely bride;
We'll reach out to a lost dark world.
I've dreamed of this day from childhood;
To meet the great love of my life.
Oh, how wonderful my God and King:
My heart rejoices ,my heart loudly sings.
For He's given to me a priceless gift;
An helpmate that makes me complete.
I'll treasure our love in His presence;
You're precious, you're lovely, you're sweet.
Once I see my bride in gown, pure white;
Flowing gently down loves isle.
Tears will flow from my joyful eyes;
As I greet my darling with a smile.
Our first embrace of love, our kiss;
A treasured memory I'll keep hold.
I'll love you dear, from year to year;
In love now, In love young, In love old.
