When God creates our children - Its done
with special care
To match us up together - Souls, with lives to share
Now Chris my lovely daughter - Your wedding day is here
As I ponder all our memories - Ill probably shed a tear!!
I remember as a two year old - You were independent
as could be
With an obvious mind of your own - Youre still that way
I see
Soon, you learned to read directions - In fact, you were quite
good
At putting things together - Cuz your mother never could!!
You planned my birthday parties - When you knew
I was at school
And painted the walls and railings - Oh Chris, youre such
a jewel
You moved the grill to the porch - And flames reached to the sky
As you and Craig cooked mom supper - It almost made me cry!!
You took some swimming lessons - Baton and piano
too
You joined the Denver honor band - Playing the clarinet was nothing
new
But soccer was your passion - In all your childhood days
Yet somehow you excelled in school - And almost made straight
As!!
At Arizona State you traveled - Venturing far
and wide
But two speeding tickets in Texas - Brought an end to your ride
At the U of M you loved to dance - And could party with the best
You drank those Pinkies and Greenies - Did you ever stop to rest!!
In college you excelled - But that was nothing
new
President of Alpha Kappa Psi - Leadership is really you
You were a commencement speaker - And I laugh as I recall
Your tales of all those college days - You entertained us all!!
You have a love of children - And want some of
your own
While caring for your brother - Your mothering skills have grown
Youre a sensitive, caring person - Not only a daughter,
but a friend
Though weve had some rocky moments - Well love each
other till the end!!
Now marriage is a growth time - When two become
as one
You and Michael will be sharing your lives - When it works, its
really fun
As you start this brand new chapter - And spread your wings to
fly
Remember Moms your biggest fan - And will be, till I die!!
