A Boy So Bright

Poem Commentary

On a day in July, 2002, I watched as a friend's son married his true love. I watched this young man, standing there, patiently waiting for his bride to arrive...and he just seemed to beam with light...so bright. Thus, this poem came out. What a magical moment for the two of them.

A Boy So Bright

Now his daughter,
  soon his bride,
to him he'll give her,
  by him she'll abide;
a strand of three cords –
  wife, husband, their Lord's,
obedient to each other –
  Christ, sister, and brother.

Through rain and fire,
  forsaking their desire,
two become one,
  second only to none;
forever together they'll be,
  til’ they're with God, in eternity;
as one they'll love,
  God's blessings of.

He'll keep her close,
  she'll hold him tight,
fears of the dark,
  fade in His light;
for on that day,
  with her dressed in white,
a man stood still,
  a boy beamed bright.

This is a PERFECT poem. Extremely well composed !!!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
