I stopped in a parking lot and wrote this little poem down yesterday, and I would like to share, if you don't mind. It is called, "When I Knew"

 

 

 

The night we said, "Yes,"

 

And you said

 

You wouldn't hurt her

 

and stated your intentions with quiet confidence

 

And I knew more had begun

 

Than either of you realized

 

 

And the night after your first

 

"official date"

 

When she talked about you til 1 am

 

And in her eyes I saw her whole heart

 

As she marveled that you would choose her

 

 

And when you brought the rose

 

And saw her in her gown

 

You could scarcely speak

 

And she flew at you

 

And kissed you

 

Right in front of me

 

 

And here,

 

The night you have to say goodbye

 

And the fire burns bright as stars

 

But not as bright

 

As hope

 

As love

 

 

 

 

I hope you like it. It isn't edited or anything.

I love it!

Thank you, guys. He's a pretty awesome young man, and has a lot of integrity and self-sacrificing attitude ( not sure how to say that, exactly). They are so young, but even if he isn't "the one," he has shown my daughter such a love that she will probably never settle for less. That brought her and even dh and me a measure of healing that is quite beautiful.
