Poems for parents... I had to share!

I 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.


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.

love them..the mom one made me tear up
