On this day

Beauty surrounds us

On this day

By Jack Ivey

 

Brought to life, while standing in a meadow

Catch a breeze within your flowing hair

Hear the joy of golden days before us

Take my hand and I will take you there

 

Touch the sky of azure placed aroma

Feel the grass a’ mingle through your toes

Laugh a while and smile at all you witness

Of this dream, a garden shower glows

 

Linger on of sunny blessings flowing

Round and round about your eyes to see

Filtered beams of saffron coated flowers

Holding true of all you mean to me

 

This my love, is all I can imagine

As my mind does breathe the scent of you

In my heart now runs a raging river

Tiny waves of everlasting true

 

Dance this day, for you have caught the rainbow

Listen close and hear the church bell toll

In this field where wonders start to happen

And I take you to be my very own

 

Whisper soft and tell me that you love me

Drink a toast as endless dreams come true

I will be your everyday before us

On this day and always I love you

Author's Note

I wrote this poem this morning and wrote music to it so I can record it for my youngest daughter's upcoming wedding.

So beautiful...I bet it is going to sound stunning. This is a wedding song if I ever heard one, and the thought behind it is so honest and genuine that I am sure it is going to be an enormous hit. Well done, my friend!
