S.) For Son

At first you called me “Mommy”…
And my heart grew soft and weak
The teenage years brought friendship true.

I thought I reached my peak.
The memories within my heart have graced my life with pride.
But none have touched me quite like now
As now you take a bride.

At My Daughter's Side
Tomorrow was a lifetime away, Now suddenly it's here.
How did it happen so quickly? This wedding drawing near.
How can I act so happy? On this most glorious day
When soon in just a short time, I'll give my daughter away.
I wish I could grasp a moment, and make the clock stand still
So I could let my heart catch up, but I know it never will.
All the worries of being a parent, all of the battle won,
No one ever warned me about the day the job was done.
Yet, there is another side, where my heart is not so sad
When I looked into my daughter's eyes, I can't help but be joyful and glad.
The is the day she dreamed of for just about all of her life
She's going to be a beautiful bride, a loving and sensitive wife
I'll stand with the whole congregation as my daughters walks down the aisle
And even though there are tears in my eyes I still will manage to smile
For I know I was very blessed When God lent this child to me
To love and care for and nurture, so she would grow up to be
This lovely, bright young woman, Who tomorrow will be a bride.
And as always I'll be there, with love
At my
Daughter's side

As we stroll proudly down the aisle,
my mind races to early years
©
when I used to skin my knees
and you'd wipe away my tears.

Where did those tender years go?
Am I ready for a new stage of life?
And what about me cavalier young man?
Is he ready for a wife?

This time you'll give me up for good ©
Not just for a Saturday night.
You hope that all my needs are met,
And that this bond is right.

There's so much that I'll have to learn
When the ups and downs get rough.
Like patience and forgiveness
You hope I'll have enough.

We've almost reached the aisles' end ©
It went by much too fast
We'll need more hours than this
To fondly remember the past

I'm letting go of your arm now
And the feeling tugs at your heart
But you know that even a husband's love
Can never replace your part.

You've done your best to let me grow
And played the role of guide
I'll be your daughter forever
So today I can be the Bride!

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
( 8x10 Print - 0220 )

There once was a baby I cradled in my arms.
Cherishing her smile, her sweetness and charms.
She was my littlest love to dress and hold.
To hug and kiss and sometimes scold.
The tea parties we shared, the books we read.
Chicken soup and movies and prayers before bed.
School projects done at midnight, friendships and fun.
Sleepovers and giggles, beach parties in the sun.
Sweet sixteen memories, the Homecoming dance.
I held it all or was it merely a glance?
For the years have flown, so quickly, so fast.
That sometimes I'm here but my hearts in the past.
I've made mistakes, cried softly in the night.
But look at her today! Wow! I did something right!

She's a bride so enchanting the essence of love.
May all her tomorrows be blessed from above.
Life with so much promise moves along with the tide.
Thank you, Lord for such joy
I'm the
Mother of
The
Bride.

With a family dear to heart and one we're both so proud of.
Together may we grow and cherish as our fates allow.
And keep us near

PARENTS OF THE GROOM

Original Poetry by : Margie Starke
( 5x7 Print - 05 )
( 8X10 Print - 0620 )

We stand before you so humble and blessed
Having a son who is among the best.
For it seems like only yesterday we held him in our arms--
The world's most beautiful baby, enchanting us with his charms
We cradled him close and hugged him tight
Read bedtime stories at the end of the night
Pulling pranks and planning schemes,
listening to his thoughts and dreams.
Running races, climbing trees . . . helping with his A - B - C's...
Life is fleeting, years rush past...
and little boys grow up too fast!
Somehow it happened, we can't recall when
He left our side, never to be a child again.
An Angel came down to fill his life
We'll call her Our Daughter! He'll call her his wife
Today's the day he's waited for  the day he takes his bride
And we're holding back tears with a parent's pride
And now we share God's blessing uniting them together
And pray they know we're always near
for families are
forever.

So often I have thought just how you fit so perfectly.
In every way imagined with that “someone” dear to me.
So many times I thank the Lord for someone sweet as you.
Through your understanding ways and special things you do.
Each time I count my blessings, I just seem to count you twice…
Reminded of your caring ways and times you've been so nice.

In all of my sincerity © You're dear as words can say.
Nice things that you often do just seem to make my day.

Love is cherished like a jewel that always will be treasured.
And all the loving thoughts I have for you just can't be measured.
With every prayer I'm thankful for a sister just like you.
I couldn't find one sweeter if I searched the whole world

through!

Surely you must feel son how very dear you are.
Of all the sons I could have had you'd be my choice by far.
Now as this expression comes with gratitude and love.

In many ways to tell you © You're a son I'm very proud of.
Nothing could be granted me to make me feel more blessed.

Like feeling that my daughter deserves nothing but the best.
And though I may by prejudice
© I find it hard to hide…
While adding up the joys you bring
© You fill my heart with pride.

Daughter it's a mystery where all the years have flown.
A precious baby yesterday. Now today you're grown.
Until I saw you standing here . . . so lovely to behold
Gradually I saw the years before my eyes unfold.
How could my lovely daughter who I cherished more than life
Too soon be leaving joined in love as husband and as wife.
Expressions of my happiness for you I just can't hide
Reliving memories today . . . as you become a bride.
Everlasting memories etched in our hearts this day
Remember if you need me
that I won't be far away.
