Father of the Bride

He stands by her side
Once known as "Daddy"
But today "Father of the Bride"
And through silent tears
His heart is full of pride.
She was his baby only moments ago
His darling little girl
Now she marries her sweetheart
And he says she is a rare treasure-a pearl.
They both love her in different ways
But she will be Daddy's precious little girl
To the end of their days.
