My Little Girl I will mask my true emotions As my daughter’s wed A smile will grace my visage Hiding the tears I shed She will always be my little girl No matter what her age Gifting memories I have saved As we turned each new page She has become a woman now My little girl no more Her life has new direction New avenues to explore I know that she has chosen well This partner that she takes Yet my eyes still blur in silent tear My voice holds subtle quake No, I have not lost a daughter I have gained a son Future memories to be gained A new chapter begun I wish for you the joy I’ve known The love beyond compare An eternity in each other’s arms True happiness to share This last verse is for you my son Please heed my only plea Take special care of my little girl For she means the world to me Brian Beaudry |

This is a great way to see it! Your daughter isn't leaving you, but a new family member is coming. New memories will be made and shared, great write and emotion. I loved it ver much! Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

Beautifully done Brian! This is something she will treasure I am sure...and, it came straight from Dad's heart. Remember...she will always be your little girl though! *Love the pic* ~Warm hugs from southern Ontario, Nancy~ ~* A dream is a wish your heart makes... *~ |

*sigh* oh yes, Brian, this one indeed made me cry....so good to see your wonderful poems...I love them and the magical way they always touch my heart. This heartfelt poem about your daughter is so very beautiful that it left me in tears of joy for her and tears of heartfelt sorrow for your having to give your daughter to another man. **big big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Hi Brian, happy to see you here, too! And congratulations on your daughters marriage. It is sad though, I had a similar feeling, except I knew my daughter was marrying someone who was not a good guy. That really hurt. Sigh. You expressed these mixed feelings beautifully. Sandra |

Brian...As hard as it seems to give away a daughter, you've just gained one more member of the family to love. I hope you have a splendid wedding with all the blessings of God poured down upon you. ***Ivy Rose |
