If Ever...It's Now Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

Before the marriage in May of 1969 to Lemuel Steven Yazzie


Steven, if ever there was a time to be saved, it's now.
If ever the sun were to shine it's brightest, it's now.
If ever the Lord was to come for His own, it's now.
If ever we were to love and give and love again, it's now.
If ever there was a time so precious to me, it's now.
If ever a woman was so full of love for her man, it's now.
If ever there was a day to pray and give thanks, it's now.
If ever therewas so great a moment to see Him, it's now.
If ever there were words to say to lift a soul, it's now.
If ever my darling we could wak this land in love, it's now.
If ever our Lord should happen to ask for us, it's now.
If ever a more beautiful moment was spent in time, it's now.
If ever our eyes should meet and our hands hold, it's now.
That through the hours of waiting and praying, it would be now.
