Forever Blessed (For Arthur and Damaris)

Submitted by Wings of Eternity on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 18:11

Author's Note: I wanted to celebrate Arthur and Damaris's engagement by writing a special poem for them. Arthur and Damaris, we may not know each other extremely well, but as fellow APer's, I consider you part of my extended family (and you both are my brother and sister in Christ!). I wish you both love, joy, and blessings, now and forever! This one is for you:

Sometimes the right things just fall into place,
and you find a love that fills up a space,
inside of your heart where you didn’t know,
that any more love could possibly go.

Sometimes your dreams completely come true,
when you find your true love waiting for you.
And every heartache and every fear,
vanish the first time they pull you near.

Sometimes these moments are simply divine,
they seem to stop the hands of time:
moments like your vows of love,
that make God smile from up above.

So remember as you go through this life,
you’ll do it together, as husband and wife.
A heavenly team, may you always succeed,
and may God always bless you in thought, word, and deed!

Oh. My. Word.
Thank you so very much for this. That last verse...so perfect and true. Thank you again for that. :) bless you.

I don’t thrive off of chaos: chaos thrives off of me.

You're quite welcome my dear! It was a blessing for me to write that for you both. Blessings to you both!

Thank you so much for this. You're so kind. I can hardly believe you did this for us. It's a beautiful poem. Thank you so very much!

"My greatest wish for my writing is that it would point you to the Savior."

You are most welcome Arthur! It's not so surprising; both of you deserve all the happiness God can give you, and a poem to help celebrate that! Blessings to you both!

Thanks Homie for your lovely comment! I have been hanging in there. Good and bad days :) I'm still have my doctors baffled, and still working on getting well (God'll get me there someday!). I've missed ya'll too :) I will try to not be so much a stranger, but I have been working so much on my health and trying to keep up with everything, that I seem to never have time for anything much for myself. I've been working on that too ;) I hope to maybe have something else posted soon if I can. Blessings to you!

Wow, this is soooo sweet and should definitely have a part sometime in the wedding ;) (eh? Eh?) haha! How lovely you write, and I can tell how much love you put into your words! Fabulous!

Write On!

Thanks Kassady! I am so thrilled that the love comes through on this poem. It is the most wonderful thing as any author to have someone feel your emotion through your work! I definitely poured my heart into this piece because it was important for me to express my joy and love for two people of my AP family ;) As for it being part of the wedding, I would never presume anything. I am honored though that you feel it is worthy of being in something so important! It is up to Arthur and Damaris whatever they wish to do with the poem because it is totally theirs :) Blessings to you!
