Wedding Day without Mom

This was the day I wanted to share with you-
The day I had dreamed of for my entire life
This was the day I would happily become a wife.-
The day I dreamed of as a little girl
This was the day that would be a milestone in my world.
But this was the day that I never imagined would be
Without the mother who meant the world to me.
But surely in God’s plan for us
In Heavenly portals up above us
We can be glimpsed by those gone ahead
Who so dearly love us.

Without You Daddy

I walked down the aisle today
Thanking God that you had been in my life
Even though you were not here
To bless me with your love
As I became a wife.
Even though I could not see you
Your influence was everywhere
As I wrote the vows I would say
To choosing the gown I would wear.
Thank you Daddy for being you
And thank God for the dad He gave to me
Who taught me to live not only for the now
But for eternity.
