The Wedding Vow


Tonight’s the night of promises
A vow of love will chime
Through every heart that hears the voice
Of one who once was mine

Her words will echo in the winds
And through the ages pass
Her sons will see them on her face
Through future’s looking glass

A promise made of love that’s true
Will last the test of time
And I will etch this wedding vow
In fringes of my mind

And bless the cherished words she sings  
This girl who once was mine

Is this about Christina? If it is, I'm sure she will treasure it forever. Beautiful work as always, Elizabeth.

May God bless their union - and I can tell you with some certainty - mothers who have been best friends to their daughters growing up - never lose them

You've gained a son, and I hope for their sake, this was a gift to them, as they will cherish it forever...
