Tarzan's Jane Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 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.

Sandbag Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 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.
