This Mother’s Prayer
Dear daughter, as you stand here
On this, your wedding day
This mother’s thoughts return to when
I’d stand and watch you play
You were just a little girl
Content to play all day
But I knew then this day would come
So I began to pray
“Lord, you know my child’s future
And what kind of mate she’ll need
Would You please prepare them both
For the life that they will lead
I pray You’ll guide this little boy
Into a Godly life
Please teach him how to love and protect
My little girl, his wife
I trust you, Lord, as I pray this prayer
I know you’ll do Your part
I believe You hear this mother’s prayer
That comes straight from my heart
And now, dear daughter, you stand here
On this, your wedding day
The Lord has answered this mother’s prayer
In a most awesome way
The little boy has become a man
And is standing by your side
Committed to God and asking you
Today to become his bride
So, it’s with great pride and joy
That your father and I step away
As we see this mother’s prayer answered
On this, your wedding day

A tender and precious poem. What a comfort it is to know that your daughter is beging a new phase in her journey, standing by the man God prepared for her. A praying mother is a blessing beyond words, as is our faithful, Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing this special moment with this site! - Nancy
what a lovely poem, full of hope which many will feel.
