A Special Poem For Our Parents

I created this special poem for our parents. As you can see I scanned a baby picture of each of us and attached it to a poem. What do you think?

Here is what the poem to my parents says:
For my parents:
Mom & Dad –
Coming soon is the day, I've dreamed of all my life.
I will then be marrying, becoming Michael’s wife.
I wanted to tell you how special, you two are to me.
You have made me what I am, and am ready to be.
That night I will sleep, with dreams of bygone days,
My loving, carefree childhood, and of my childish ways.
Then I will awake, with dreams of things to come,
What my life will be, and who I will become.
With the morning I will have, emotions flowing free,
I just wanted you to know, I'll need you there with me
Your strength and love will guide me, as I become the bride,
As I start this precious journey, I need you by my side.
As I stand with Dad, at the beginning of the aisle
Please look at me dear Mom; I'll need to see your smile.
Your smile and Dad's arm will help to steady me,
As I take this blessed step, for God and all to see.
I'll always be your daughter, and your love I'll always need,
Though we are starting a new chapter, planting a new seed.
Michael is my love, my life, my everything to me,
And he will be beside me, as we tackle what will be.
So right before my wedding day, I say these words to you,
Hoping that you realize, you're in everything I do.
On my wedding day I will pledge to Michael, my very heart and soul,
You have helped to mold me, and he will make me whole.
Thank you for all that you have done for me.
Love Your Daughter,
Lisa

Here is what the poem from FI to his parents says:
For my parents:
Mom & Dad –
I know I don’t say it often, and you can’t read my mind,
But as we get closer to my wedding day, I thought I should be inclined,
To tell you how special you are, and you mean the world to me
A son couldn’t have better parents, or a better family tree.
I have always felt very loved, even when I was in trouble.
I hope to pass on that love, to children of my own,
The example you set will be hard to follow, but I will not be alone.
I was once a little boy, that you raised with love and care
I have now become a man, and my life I am ready to share.
Lisa is my life, my best friend, my soulmate and confidante,
There is no other person, that I could ever want.
Soon we’ll be joined in marriage, for now and evermore,
I’ll be armed with the qualities you taught me, and, am now, thanking you for.
Please know that I might not say it, but my heart is full of love,
For the things I have, but mostly for, yourselves that you gave all of.
Thank you for all that you have done for me.
Love Your Son,
Michael

I used just plain vellum paper and I used white heart cardstock for the poems.
