Wedding Poem

From a deceased father to his daughter on her wedding day. I wrote this in memory of my friend's father on her wedding day.

Don't Cry For Me

© Chastity
My little Girl, Don't cry for me
I'll be right by your side.
I'd never miss out on this day
that you become a bride.

I'm here with you to hold your hand
and give your heart away
To a man God chose to take care of you
forever from this day.

Today, I place your hand in his
with blessings and with pride.
My little Girl, Don't cry for me
I'll be right by your side.

  • It was on a whim I found this poem and it brought me to tears. I am getting married on April 18 2010 and my father has just passed (July 2, 2009). Our wedding favors are donations to the American Lung Association in honor of my father, John J. Burns, and his loss in the battle against cancer. This poem will be proudly framed and placed on a table with the favors. I want to thank you so much for writing this and helping me and my family remember my father on the day that I will miss him most.

  • The poem touched my heart. Leads me in to tears and cry very much:( I remember my true father died on the same day:( It is really painful to celebrate your happiest day which is getting married with someone you love even you didn't know that the happiest day would be the last day of the first guy who loves you first.:( since you are in this world:(

  • I am 16 right now, not getting married yet, but this poem touched me as well. It has been hard lately because I miss my dad who passed away when I was 5 years old. It is like the grief is hitting me hard, again. This is great, you (author) should continue writing poems! :) I hope anyone in a similar situation as mine and/or the author's will be calmed by this poem and my own story as well. We aren't alone; and the situation can almost always have been worse.
