Last summer my daughter got engaged.
Her first love is now becoming
Her true, life long and everlasting.
I wish for her a love
That lasts, like her mom and
Dad’s love. Like his mom and
Dad’s love. May their love out
Last the mundane and the murkiness
That invades every last person’s life.
I hope that when she wants
To have the last word or
Is tempted to put him last
On her “to do” list that
She’ll remember the day she vowed
To make it last, and reconsider.
I hope that when he wants
To list every last one of
Her faults or is tempted to
Think ‘that’s the last straw!’ that
He’ll remember the day he vowed
To make it last, and reconsider.
I wish for her a day,
A perfect, love filled wedding day.
Making the love last isn’t easy.
At times it takes every last
Ounce of strength you can muster.
But to that day, that one
Day, I attach the hope of
Perfection. Her wedding dream come true,
Down to the very last detail.
Down to the very last detail.
