To Dad: < !signature-->I recieved the news today from you The sheer joy that swept across me was apparent I am sure When you announced so proudly I'm going to marry her It's been such a hard road The last five or six years We've shared so much as daughter and father Through the smile and the tears You have been my everything My rock strong and true No matter how hard things got I've always been able to count on you The passing of Mom About destroyed this family for good But together you and I kept fighting So I knew it never would You've done more as a father That most parents combined When I forgot the important lessons of life You were quickly there to remind With your warm and loving ways You have taught me all I know With your stern but fair guidance Throughout the years I've grown Finally I can let you go Because I know you'll be okay And from far away I'll be smiling On your beautiful wedding day To Susan: You came into our life When we needed someone the most Sticking around when times got hard Not dissapearing like a ghost True friend you have become You mean more to us than we could ever say I'm grateful you came into our life And that you're here to stay You hold my dearest possesion The heart of the greatest man in my life And it is with an honor That I am proud to call you his wife Susan, you have become more than that You are not only my "mom" but one of my best friends Lots of love, hugs and kisses On your wedding day I do send To You Both: May your day be bright and cheerful You have passed loves ultimate test And when it comes to parents I simply was blessed with the best I'll be thinking of you on that day With a smile and tear in my eye You will not see me But from North Carolina to Florida I will be waving hi Congratulations! I love you both very much!! All my love, ~Amy~ "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

That's great, Amy! I wish them the best! Beautiful poem for them. They'll love it! Just one question...in the poem for Susan, last stanza in the second line...did you mean she is or is not your mom and your best friend? Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-23-2001).] |

Congradulations to your parents. I don't think you could've picked a better gift to give. It's beautiful and full of love, and you don't have to look for the hallmark! "Hearts will become practical when they make them unbreakable" ~The Wizard of Oz Much love all, Krissie |
