NF - My Son Got Married On The Weekend

[Tarzan's Jane]

It was a beautiful wedding. One that almost did not take place. My son was in a serious car accident a few weeks ago and needed the jaws of life to get him out. Months ago I had been working on a little something to say at the reception but had put it away because I felt it sounded too much like I was at his funeral. When the accident happened I knew that should I ever find myself at his funeral, I would not be able to say a word for the grief would be too heavy. So, three days before his wedding I wrote him this poem.

 

BRIAN

 

All alone and quiet, one August Summer Night

I was 7 months pregnant, with no future in sight

Not a penny did I have, not a friend in my tracks

I turned to God and I surrendered....Brian, I gave you back

 

October 30th you were born, I thought I was going to die

Not just from the pains of birth, but from facing up to a lie

I had already given you back; my heart had turned to stone

Once again I went to God and I no longer felt alone

 

Your Heavenly Father and I, well....we go into it

I was scared to keep you, but He told me not to quit

I had no place to go to; He said trust in My Son

And so I had to go on faith, for he chose me, to be your Mom

 

There have been a lot of people, over the years that have come to us

But especially so, those first 5 years, when it was all about trust

First to come was My brother Michael, who still brings us so much love

Darlene came soon after, whom I believe was sent, from up above

 

Not long after that, I met your Dad, who gladly adopted you

The Moore Family welcomed us, and all things became new

You were after me for quite some time, to give you a little brother

You named him Tyler, and your love for him, I saw was like no other

 

You know the rest, which brings us here on your wedding day

I still remember that phone call, for this is what you had to say

Mom....shes so beautiful, shes so BEAUTIFUL

I gotta have her Mom, I so need for her to stay

 

You truly are beautiful Priscilla; your spirit is oh so kind

I couldnt be happier to welcome you, right now, at this time

You surely do love Brian; I remember our talk one night

Your eyes gave up tears of love; I knew you were just right

 

I thank God for all that has happened, for keeping you both safe

And bringing us all together, so we could all celebrate

I wish you both much happiness, much love and tenderness

Please know that you have family, one of lifes greatest gifts.

I know all too well how emotional it can get when our kids get married. We just celebrated our Daughter and Son in Law's wedding 1 year anniversary.

 

Congrats to you and yours!

Very heartfelt and moving poem Twilight. I personally don't know how you ever got through reading that at your son's wedding. I was choking up reading it here.

 

Congrats to you as it is obvious you have done a terrific job raising your son. Congrats to your son and his new wife.

 

Cheers
