don't mean to hog the site, guys--come on post some more.
this is a poem i wrote for my daughter who was just married last may.

Elizabeth

A beautiful spirit of love and grace
Lights up your heart as well as your face...
Those dark brown eyes can sparkle and shine,
It seems but a dream that you could be mine.

Tender and delicate you became,
Beauty within and without, the same.
A young girl with a song in your heart.
Surrendered to God, you’ll do your part.

A young lady next, strong and beautiful,
Giving, loving, honest and dutiful.
Away from home--then falling in love,
Finding a young man sent from above.

Into a Godly woman you grew,
With an humble way and love so true.
I miss you so, my precious daughter,
But now, letting you go is an honor.
