Parent Poems -- take a look

Look what I just stumbled upon...... Im gonna use them in the scrap book frames Im making for my parents!

For bride's parents
Mom & Dad –

Coming soon is the day, I've dreamed of all my life.
I will then be marrying, becoming XXXX’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.
XXXX 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 XXXX, 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,
XXXX


Here is the poem for FI's parents

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.
Which all of us know was more than you imagined, maybe even double!
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.
XXXX 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,
XXXX

Where did you get these from, they are awesome, my parents are divorced, I want to see if they have one for each

I actually just did a search on the boards and this is the only one that came up -- way back from the brides of 2003-2003

Ryan - I just found this one also. HTH


was looking for a poem to put on a hanky for my dad and I came across these two poems that left me in tears at my desk!

For My Dad

All daughters learn life's lessons, from their dads when they are small,
of all the things you taught me, I love these most of all.

You taught me I could smile, but showed me I was smart,
you encouraged me to think, while my smile filled your heart.

There were moments when I knew, your eyes were filled with pride,
not always that I won, but that you knew how hard I tried.

As you take my arm in yours, to walk me down the aisle,
I know I'll see that pride, and your eyes will see that smile.

Dad I want to thank you, for always being there,
but most of all I thank you, for the lessons you still share.

I love you Dad.

Ryan --- I just found this one also! HTH
To My Mom From Your Daughter

I realize as I marry what it takes to be a wife.
It takes the things you taught to me all throughout my life.

It’s believing in another’s dream until it has come true.
Cheering in the background, “I am so proud of you!”

It’s having your convictions and admitting when you're wrong.
It’s showing you have weaknesses but knowing that you’re strong.

And so the day they say to us, “We pronounce you man and wife,”
I’ll strive to be just like you, the one who gave me life.

Thank You Mom For Everything.
