The Brides Mother At The Wedding Poem

The Brides Mother

by Christie Lund

They see you as a woman, as a bride,
Sweet in a modeled gown of creamy lace;
Your blue eyes turned to him in trust and pride,
Your golden curls a halo for your face.
Yet I, your mother, see you not as this
Alone: I see you as a baby in my arms,
Helpless and small, mine to adore and kiss;
I see you, as a child of three whose charms
And childish laughter are for me me alone;
I see your first, brief step beside my knee;
I see you in the years when you have grown
Into a lovely woman that they see.
A thousand priceless memories I keep
Within my heart. Forgive me that I weep.

Yes of course at any wedding the one person that everyone looks at is the bride. She gets all the attention and so she should it is her big day!

However her mother must have some deep feelings on this wedding day.  This wedding poem expresses not just the love for her duaghter on this special day but reflects back over the brides life as a little girl growing up and the loving characteristics shown in various ways.
