Analysis of The Girl I Wed
Thank you for the confusion Lord,
thank you for the doubt
Thank you for those unsure moments
when I could neither whisper nor shout
Thank you for the people Lord
who loved me or hated in vain
But thank you most for the girl I wed
—who took away my pain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
