Will the wedding party grow tired,
And eventually fall asleep?
As the Groom tarries in His coming,
For a wedding yet to keep!
Ten went out as Watchmen,
To be the eyes of the guest.
Five went unprepared for the darkness,
Not knowing...darkness is a test!
Five Watchmen came prepared,
For everything, darkness might bring!
Though they knew not the moment,
They prepared for everything!
The night wore on longer...
Than the guest had anticipated!
Finally, the wedding party fell asleep,
But the Watchmen... still waited!
By now even the Watchmen,
Had begun too doze!
But at the sound of the forerunner,
The Watchmen then arose!
The five who were prepared,
Lit their lamps, to overcome the night!
But those unprepared now turned,
And headed back, lacking oil for their light!
The five Watchmen who had prepared,
Now alerted the Bride and the guest!
With their lights shinning bright,
They sought to energize the rest!
"The Groom is close at hand,
Be ye not dismayed!"
For in the twinkling of an eye,
There will be a wedding day!
