My Daughter's Wedding Today I walked down a ceremonial aisle my daughter beside me her arm on mine the wedding march playing all the while a dress so beautiful, white lace design This day to take the hand of another the one who has won her tender heart a future together, now theirs to discover have and to hold, till death does part Walking still, so many memories come back of a child so small, now a lovely bride not a moment of love or caring did she lack I stand with her now brimming with pride Who gives this woman to marry this man? the preachers words echoing in my ear reaching together they're now hand in hand I have givin the one that I hold so dear As vows are said, unity candle to light so many memories I have of the past years of laughter, joy and much delight now with another, a promise to everlast The candles are aglow, vows are now said do you take this woman to have and to hold prayers are spoken, words from Bible said on fingers now placed bonding rings of gold They have said "I Do", ceremony is through I leave with less than when I came into the future for a life so new she has now taken another man's name For Andrea I Love You, Dad < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Danny Holloway (edited 03-02-2000).] |

What a beautiful poem. You accomplished the most hardest and bravest thing a man can do-letting your daughter go. You did not leave with less you came(even though it feels that way) you gained the atmost admiration from your daughter and the ones around you. -------------- You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, yes you will That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King |

What a beautiful tribute. It brought tears to my eyes. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Very close to home for me. I have a daughter also. But she has a long way to go to marriage, still this moved me because i can picture myself with her in your words. |

Danny, this is so sweet!!! I know that giving away a daughter to another man has got to bring tears to your eyes...it's an emotional thing!! Have you ever heard "Butterfly Kisses"??? Your poem reminded me of this song, such a beautiful event!!! Stand proud Dad!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

As much as I would love that autographed picture, I was rather thinking that a willing body may be better.... Marina [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 03-02-2000).] |
