Today, as you are standing at the altar,
Anxiously awaiting the hand of your bride,
I'm lost in yesterday's sweet rememberings;
The toothless grins and toddling steps,
Kindergarten, first grade,
a little finger touching each word
as you learned how to read;
Watching as you grew and seeing the sparkle
that shone in those blue eyes
as you went after your dreams;
A young man, proudly standing in cap and gown,
First high school ~ then college,
Running, full of hope into the future.
And now, now you stand here in this church,
Waiting to start the next chapter
of your incredible life;
Waiting to say "I do" ~ lift the veil,
and kiss your lovely bride.
Tears flow freely, as my heart just bursts
with pride, with love, with every wonderful
memory that you've etched into my heart;
And I anticipate all of the joy that is yet
to come, and say a little prayer;
For a lifetime of happiness ~ for both you
and your precious bride;
On this day as you marry ~ your best friend.

dear Bonnie; this is so incredibly beautiful! As a mother, this just moved my heart....Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

This is absolutely beautiful. My dear sister just got engaged last week and has asked of me two very special honors. The first is to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and the second is to write a poem for her and her fiance to be read at the ceremony. If only I can write a poem half as beautiful as you for your son, I will be very proud.
