BThe Swan B
As surely as I stand in the presence of our Loving God above,
this story is true.
It happened today and was witnessed by the Lady
The Swan
Clasped hand to hand we sent a prayer
to our precious God above;
“Please show Your will to us below
and bless us in our love.”
‘Tis then we walked along a path
of a great flowing stream
till we saw a gentle single swan
sent to us it would seem.
The graceful bird swam straight to me
as I stood along the bank
then cam so bold from water’s flow
I knew God I would thank.
It stopped just short of arm’s length
reach and posed majestically,
But then I looked into it’s eye
and heard it speak to me.
Deep in my mind it told of hurt
and tragic loss of mate.
It told of how the loneliness
it accepted as it’s fate.
But then it spoke so bold in thought
“T’was not my fate to be;
For God had sent an angel down
to share my destiny”
With message spent the gentle swan
walked back to water’s edge;
I turned then to my Lady, and
My life to her did pledge.
Maxine and I were married at 3:30 pm this day….
surely honored and blessed by God Himself
thru silent voice of majestic swan.
