Thank you and I hope you enjoy. Please listen to the music as you read.
with grace she enters from the dressing room
captivating those that turn, their lipstick stained glasses
held in hand and some gentlemen who sit on couches
sideways glance to hold her beauty in their eyes
[youtube.com/watch?v=rIBRcQdzWQs]
too ethereal for this world, angelically she softly glides
and takes her place in front of the mirror that can’t
reflect the beauty she holds inside
satin shoes, dress of lace that waterfalls
around her feet
her dream, on the verge of being fulfilled
my dream ~ her happiness and I wonder does she notice
the tears that well, the inner glow of love I simply feel
watching as she turns and almost pirouettes
across the floor
a young girl now grown
a life to live away from home
my eyes soak in her beauty ~ yet there is a sadness
as her new life begins, away from sheltered arms that
held her close, wiped her tears, raised her through the years
words that even now are hard to write
though it’s been some time since that day
my baby, my first born child, the dress that fitted
like a glove, the tears of joy that trickled down her
porcelain skin
this memory will remain with me of how I felt
back then ~ the picture in my mind I shall
take that to my grave and in these moments
the years flow past my eyes ~ her first steps
her first words, her engaging smile
this elegant young woman
with a smile as wide as a crescent moon
before a veil is placed to complete the look
and as she turns to me
I see the utter joy across her face
her gown, this day, she is ready
she has chosen what she is to wear
her happiness impossible to hide
and I smile a reassuring smile… a mother to daughter’s love
a mothers’ pride ~ just the way you are
For any mother or perhaps father seeing their daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.
