A Father Rejoices in the Engagement of His Son

An Ode to Engagement

Two lives were connected some years ago

In the quaint, tiny town of old Shiloh;

Where families gathered with strong desire

To worship the King, the Lord, their Sire.

Tim was a Horn, and Lauren a Davis,

Who could have known that one day they'd save us

From the routine of an everyyear spring

A season now blessed where we laugh and sing.

Sober and serious, yet with a smile,

Tim pursued Lauren o'er many a mile.

Determined, persistent, full speed ahead,

His courtship was marked with flowers so red.

Lauren showed laughter and full zest for life,

Discussing issues with which Tim was rife.

Careful always to look to her father

For guidance, wisdom, his imprimatur.

With joy look we now for the day to come,

When Tim and Lauren will two become one.

To 'stablish a household where Christ is the King

And truth is proclaimed through all their offspring.
