[hometext] => This poem was written for my daughter prior to her upcoming marriage.
[bodytext] => A little girl, so small and so sweet, Came into my life to make it complete. A precious bundle, so soft and so new…. I wanted one daughter, but God gave me two. I always wondered how it could be That I was so blessed, why God chose me… To be your mother, to help give you life. The ultimate love of a husband and wife. Watching you grow into who you are now Has been such a joy, though I’d wonder how I could manage each day to do what was required. I was always so busy and just plain tired. I wish I could see you again at each age. Time flew so fast, I wish every stage Was just like a movie I could play just for me— I’d listen more closely, and I’d really see….. I’d savor each moment; I’d listen with care To your questions and fears, each of your prayers. I’d watch as you learned how to live and to love, I guess much as God watches us from above. I’d see how God shaped you, all of your life— How he’s prepared you to become a wife. God has been working on you, but you see, God’s also been doing a work on me. This time is so sweet, a mother’s dream come true That God brought a wonderful man to you. But, it’s hard to let go, change is just hard for me. Life is a circle and now I see…… A gown up woman, so precious and sweet, Who came into my life to make it complete. It’s your turn now, my daughter, my love--- To accept your gift from our Father above. Soon you’ll be a beautiful bride And this mother’s heart will swell with pride. You’ll start a new life, the circle will grow, And, someday, God willing, I just know…. You’ll be a Mother, you’ll help give life— The ultimate gift to a husband and wife. A precious bundle, so soft and so new…. A beautiful daughter, just like you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
