Each passing moment

With each passing moment the hour hand seems to crawl

the seconds lapse as the minute hand flies rather rapidly

The whisper of a breath that you are eager to hear for the first peep

now gone with but a memory clung to cherish in the recesses of the mind

The grip of the hold in a clutched tight chubby finger and hand

lost in the moment of what now is the past and alone

The giggle of a wee little voice

now grown to a young lady

The chats, dreams, one time verbiages

come and now gone by

minutes, hours, days, weeks, years were just here

laughed and replayed in the heartbeat and mind

long talks and giggles, car rides and wishes

dreams to fulfill with wide eyes of wonder

Hopes to come and visions to stretch through

long hugs to comfort and assure of the trust

so close for the moment and pushing and striving solo fly freely

praying for protection and longing for soaring

hoping she knows that you are there for her always and forever

Off for the flight and danger around

knowing she has be taught and learning still abounds

decisions made too quickly then with others confided

moments of ache as silence brings bittersweet sorrow

now for the mending of growth that really began in the marrow

knowing the flight hits the mark

no question but to know

He gave and he smiles for the princess is His

Where she fully is to be

Knowing that the circle complete

He knew, He gave,

He created His masterpiece

molded and yielded with permission from thee

grow to be free and come live to see

Now she must return fully

as He calls, "Now come unto Me"

My Bride I have awaited and now it is time

For I have come to get YOU

They loved you, they cared for You with all that they could

Give of their best as a Mother and Father could give

for these moments with glee

though not easily

Only Her FUTURE is

HIS ETERNALLY

My child, He Loves you for all that your worth

His priceless Bride

We Love you so dearly

but He even more

He is whispering your name dear loved

I've come

We release you to Him

knowing He knows what is BEST

You'll be fully at rest

Time did fly oh so quickly

yet standing so still

We Love you Immensely

yes we truly Always will

For your are our daughter

Our mirror

Our heart.
