My daughter was married last saturday. The photo is her and I during the daughter daddy dance.

Poem Artwork







From a baby to a woman
I have watched you slowly grow
And I knew the day would come
That I would have to let you go

From your days of tiny golden curls
I knew there’d come the day
That I would have to walk you down the aisle
And give your hand away

It’s so hard to be a Daddy
When it comes to times like this
But even though it hurts
This is a day I wouldn’t miss

To see you in your wedding gown
A treasure to the eyes
A sight to touch the heart
And make the toughest Daddy cry

And now its time I give you
To the new man in your life
He will be your loving husband
And you will be his treasured wife

But for me there’s comfort knowing
As I recall your golden curls
That I will always be your Daddy
And you my little girl

Yes, I sometimes wonder myself where time has gone. I still recall the time my daughter was a baby - and now she is almost ready to leave us. We have to accept it, that's life.

This is such a touching write, you have me crying here. It's just the thought of giving, give, give, give (something about that word) your precious child to someone? You're a good Daddy and I can see the tears on your daughter's face that reflect her happiness as she dances in her Daddy's arms.
Congratulations Jack. She's lovely

The words in this poem moved me tonight......and what a lovely picture of the two of you..*sigh*
