Never To Be Forgotten

Close your eyes

Deep breath

There’s the signal

Take a step

Down the aisle

Two by two

Past the people

Smiling at you

Bubbles rising

In my chest

I’m feeling eager

And feeling stressed

I’m feeling broken

And feeling blessed

I cannot breathe

My heart’s gone wild

My name is called

Stand up and smile

Standing tall

Before the crowd

Feeling scared

But feeling proud

I’m getting dizzy

My vision’s blurred

There’s the paper!

Read the words!

No. Don’t read.

Speak! You’re fine!

The strength is God’s

The words are mine

Who gave me words?

Give Him the praise

He who loves all

And sets hearts ablaze

Touch the hearts

That first touched you

There go the tears

And they’re crying, too

Don’t you ever forget.
