Wedding Day

It’s my Wedding Day such a happy occasion
Family and friends gather to reminisce the day when
I met my true love and my life changed for good
Garnered blessings from most though some misunderstood

The love that we share is genuine and true
Today is the day when we say I do
In front of these witnesses we pledge our love
Perfect and complete as from heaven above

We stand before the preacher to bless the union
He is perplexed and filled with confusion
Two men before me to bless this day
No blessings for you because you are gay

You were created in the image of God
To say you were born this way is really a fraud
His plan for you doesn’t include living in sin
You can’t marry a man it’s not in His plan

Condemned by government and all the church folks
Our love is ridiculed and the butt of their jokes
The sanctity of marriage weighed on the scale
Of justice and equality determined to fail

Sanctity is a strong word but I am sure it is true
Put you own marriage to the test and when you do
Be honest with yourself and really listen
To the words you use to condemn in an instant

While love is the answer and all we hold dear
Your words attack innocence and perpetuate fear
I will not be bound by your insolent words
I stand for equality and will not be deterred

I anticipate the day when civilization redeems
The travesty of justice and hope is gleaned
From the chaos contrived by religion and men
My heart will be ready and my invitation will stand

It’s my Wedding Day such a happy occasion
Family and friends gather to reminisce the day when
I met my true love and my life changed for good
Garnered blessings from most and no one misunderstood
