A Bride's Made

There was no apparent beauty to lose

Protected, undetected - hidden from view

A flower was forming as a sleepy seed grew

The cold ground was warming but nobody knew

As gray as a season with no sign of spring

Nothing to notice, or so it would seem

A glimmer like lightning escaped from her eyes

Hinting that something was deeply alive

No thirst for attention, no self-centered pleas

Not even a whisper from this confident seed

Completely aware that she’s never alone

Cared for and watched over ’til the flower has grown

Loved, fed and watered with the Father’s pure care

This flower, like a daughter, lovely and fair

The perfect work of patience, all things made new

By the hand of the Creator  who careth for you

(James 1:4, Revelation 21:5, 1 Peter 5:7)
