~The Bride~

I stand here and look in amazement
at the beauty in front of me.
Is this still my little girl I wonder?
The one that I still see.

I see her now all dressed in white
For today's her wedding day.
I brush a tear that silently falls;
and blink the other away.

"Where did the years go?", I am thinking; 
as I watch my precious child.
She looks up and says "Are you ok Mom?"
And I whisper "Yes" and smile.

I remember the first time I held her
on the day that she was born.
I gaze at her now in wonder
Such beauty now sitting adorned.

I remember her very first birthday
What we 'celebrated' she didn't know.
But those 'birthdays' quickly flew by
Where did the years all go?

I still see her running in my mind
A childs' laughter rings in my head.
I still see her playing with her toys
I remember the first book she read.

I remember her very first boyfriend
I can recall the flowers he'd bring.
Then one day she met the "right one".
The 'one' who brought the ring.

I gaze at her now and know what I see
A woman before me in lace and pearls.
Though I know in my heart she'll forever be
My precious child - my little girl.

May All your Dreams Come True!

If you are a Mom and have a daughter who is in love and 
getting married this summer  - please send them this page!
I know they will always and forever remember you for it!
I thought of my own Mom as I wrote this; and now I feel
like I have truly 'seen' through my own Mothers' eyes.
It was a very 'enlightening' experience!
