A Mother's Prayer
Bless the union of these souls
as they become whole
A myriad of thoughts run through my head
as I watch my young one being wed
Through a veil of tears I do recall
there was a time when you were so small
Here you stand taking your vows
so many years has brought you to now
To Travis I give my precious one
it is with pride I now call you son
A lifetime of love I wish for you
years of happiness for you too
A union that should never grow old
forever is circled in bands of gold

Hello, Chrys,
This is very special. Not certain if it was intentional, but 'veil of tears' connected me even closer to your relationship with your daughter - soon to be bride. Congratulations on a very precious and monumental event!

I'm thinking...
that your son-in-law is lucky to have a great mother-in-law. Giving your children to someone else's care, is a great thing when you know that they are good people. My only crit. is that I think that you should have said; "years of happiness for you [two]."
Gee.

very touching and very
very touching and very sentimental I loved it, and what touched me most is the honesty of the feeling. The first couplet I found the most powerful of the poem. A sweet heartfelt write.
