So on this, your Blessed and Special Day;
These thoughts from the Heart must I say,
And present to you, my Love and Views,
In this my own special way.

For in this woman I see the infant,
In the early morn' of her birth,
A precious and special blessing,
Shared with my one True Love on Earth.

From the infant now to a child,
Strong willed, yet so close at Heart,
With a temperament so gentle,
As the wonders of her new life starts.

Now the childhood left to those teenage years,
That time of all my parenthood fears,
With times of great joy, and sometimes tears,
Yet I wonder now why, the past seems so clear.

Now the years seem to have passed so swiftly,
As your life, through teary eyes I now view,
For this day someone stands, and asks if he can,
Share in my unending love for you.

For I know that I am only human,
And yes, mistakes I have made my share,
But change would I not, the events of my life,
For my three wonderful children are there.

So as we stand together, on your wedding day,
As I lift your Veil, kiss your cheek and slowly walk away,
And at that bitter-sweet moment, I'm sure you'll realize,
How precious your life will always be;
In your Daddy's eyes.

I Love You!

Love Dad
