My Wish For You

*****To Lauren and Earl on your wedding day *****12 May 2007 I stand before you My sister, my strength, my best friend And pride fills my heart As today I have witnessed the truest beauty There surely must be a God This moment is yours A new life beckons New memories are just waiting to take place But for this second, I hold onto the millions we've made I wish the years didn't pass so fast I wish I could remember better, the joys, the pains, the sisterly chats, those momentous laughs But life has taken its course And I am left to watch in pride as my darling sister has become a bride I pray the years will be many for you I hope love will forever fill your days From being our daddy's little girl You have now become somebody else’s pearl May God forever bless this union, With a passionate love that never ends May you be with each other through the hardest times With a passionate love that never ends May you hug, and dance, and laugh and cry With a passionate love that never ends All this and so much more I wish for you My sister, my strength, my best friend **this poem was written for my friend who couldn't put into words what she felt. She is going to read it at the wedding reception to her sister who is getting married**
