Thread: I am feeling blessed

Congratulations and enjoy the day. I have two young daughters and have mixed feelings about when that time arrives.

Just put a pebble in one of his shoes.

Enjoy the day Brad!

cheers, DL

You reminded me of a beautiful french song that expresses your feelings.

Anyhow congratulations, wishing them happy years together.


To my daughter

I know that a day will come when life demands
This day that I apprehend, when you will leave us
I know a day will come when sad and lonely
While supporting your mother and dragging my feet
I will come home to a deserted "home"
I will come home to where you are not.

You won't see anything of what is in my heart
Your eyes will be pierced with happiness
And I will wear a grin that you do not know
That resembles an affected smile but isn't one
While hiding my pain, proudly by your side
I will guide your steps no matter what I think or say about it
In the contemplation of a peaceful church
To give you to the man of your choice
Who will strip you of the name that is ours
To give you another one, that I don't know.

I know that a day will come when you will reach that age
When you break lose of the cages, having found your way
I know a day will come, you will reach the blossom of age
And the dawn of your life will rise
And alone with your mother, the day like the night
The summer like the winter will feel a little cold.

And he who knows nothing of the harm that is caused us
He, who won't have done anything for your maturing years
He, who will come to steal,which I am most afraid of,
A piece of our past, a piece of our happiness
This stranger without a name, without a face
Oh! How much I hate him
And yet if he is bound to make you happy
I will have no hateful thoughts towards him
But I will offer him my heart with your hand
I will do all this knowing that you love him
Simply because I love you
The day, when it comes.

Well what a buzz emotionally.
I am still on a high
Would have to be one of my proudest moments walking my daughter down the isle and when I fist saw her in her wedding dress.
Something that will remain with me for the rest of my life.
For those that have been there you know what I am on about, for those of you that will be doing it the future you are in for something very very special.
Thank you for all you kind words it was appreciated....
Brad..
