Can someone post the parent poems?

I remember a while back there were poems posted that are great for the parents.

Does anyone have them.

Thanks.

I have these:

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

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

and these:

I wasn't perfect, I wasn't ideal
I never made a meal, I stayed out too late
I talked back when I shouldn't
I wanted to test my wings, and got mad when I couldn't
We are so much alike
My mother and I, we argued some
Did not see eye to eye,
I couldn't wait, to be out on my own
To try out the ropes, to be fully grown,
You were never afraid, to speak what you thought,
You knew what I'd done, well before I got caught,
A friend, a companion, who would always defend,
Giving love unconditionally, a love that didn't end,
Even when I wasn't perfect, ideal, or good,
When the going got tough, I knew I always could,
Turn to my mom, with her good advice,
Even now I turn to you, as I become a wife,
I thank you so much, for all that you've done,
For what you have made me, for what I've become,
Now I'm proud of the fact, that I am so like you,
I hope that I continue to, in all the things I do,
I hope that when you see me, you can smile with pride,
As Dad walks me down the aisle, as I become a bride,
These words can't express, just what you mean to me,
But I will strive every day, to make sure that you see,
I only hope when my day comes, to be a mother too,
That I will be as good a mom
As great a mom as you


As we stroll proudly down the aisle
your mind will race to earlier years,
When I used to skin my knees
and you used to wipe away my tears.
Where did those tender days go,
am I ready for a new stage of life?
And what about that cavalier young man,
is he ready for a wife?
This time you’ll give me up for good,
not just a Saturday night.
I know that you hope that all my needs are met
and that this bond of love is right.
There's so much that I’ll have to learn
when the ups and downs get rough.
Like patience and forgiveness
and you hope I’ll have enough.
When we are almost at the end of the aisle,
it is going to go fast.
I know that we both will need more hours
to fondly remember the past.
When I let go of your arm
and the feeling tugs at your heart.
Know that even Michael’s love
will never replace your part.
You have done your best to let me grow
and play the role of guide.
I will be your daughter forever
so that soon I can be the bride.

Is there a dry eye in the place?????
Those are beautiful!!!!

Thanks Lisa.

oh my, I am tearing up. Beautiful!
