Who do you want the poem written for?: My daughter, Misty

Why do you want the poem written ?: Her wedding day

Key Messages: How much are father and I love her and how proud we are of her.

Memorable Moments: Misty use to kiss her father's feet when she was little. Her father nicked named her "rink" and still calls her this name today. One time at Christmas I bought her father a weed eater and he couldn't figure out what the present was so Misty said "Its no a weed eater daddy" thinking if she said that he would think it was something else. After this happened I (her Mother) would never let her see anything I wrapped for anyone. She used to say she was band forever from the wrapping room. We still kid her about this today. Misty was the college homecoming queen, she went to college at Tennessee Tech. University. Misty is a Christian girl and we are very glad she accepted the Lord as her savior.

Other Comments: Misty father and I are divorced but we get along really well. Misty and I are very close, she is my best friend, we can tell each other anything. Misty graduated from college with bachelor's degree. Her father and I are very proud of her and we both really love her future husband, Mike. Mike is a police officer. He has a son from a previous marriage and Misty really loves them both.

Style: Happy, but very emotional. I would like her father or I to read this at her reception from both of us.

Package Type: Deluxe

Last thoughts: Misty is very close to her father and I. Also, he is the oldest grandchild on my side of the family, so she is very special to my whole family. My entire family will be doing some part of the wedding ceremony. Misty has brown hair and big brown eyes. When she was little I kept her hair short and he father loved it this way. He tell her all the time to get it cut back like that. We kid him, because we think he thinks if she cuts her hair again she will become that little three year old again. Misty also had a very special pet when she was little a cat named "Nibbles". You don't have to name all this stuff in the poem, just whatever you think would be good.

Stay Misty For Me

Hello, my wonderful daughter, and I say that with a great sense of pride, I've also got some more overdue words to say, and they're going to come from deep inside: You'll always be our little girl, do you remember when you used to kiss your father's feet? You were obviously very small then, and your sense of smell wasn't yet complete :0) Do you remember the Weedeater I bought him for Christmas? It was supposed to have been a surprise, you said: "It's not a Weedeater Daddy", you should've seen the innocent look in your eyes. You've filled our hearts and life with joy, and you made us so proud as the college homecoming queen, I know a father can be a little biased, but he said you were the prettiest that he's ever seen. And we're glad that you're a good Christian girl, and have chosen the Lord as your guide, just another reason you make us so very happy, in fact, you are our dreams personified. Now, I'm sorry that as parents, we didn't stay together, but we were like a magnet (that had an opposite pole), but we're still such very good friends, and two halves can still make a whole. And we're both very happy for you, and Mike is a diamond, he'll be your lifelong treasure, and we're delighted to have him and his son in our family, in fact, it's more than delight, it's a real pleasure. When you were very little, I kept your hair nice and short, I did it to keep your father happy, (or at least, that's what he thought). But the little girl in my mind, still has that short hair today, and your Dad thinks if you cut it again, then that's the way you'll stay. But time never stands still, and now our little Misty is fully grown, and we wanted you to know that we're proud of you, and we're grateful for all of the love that you've shown. You see, you really are our pride and joy, you've fulfilled our dreams and so much more, and we love you today and we'll love you tomorrow, in fact, we'll love you for always, for evermore. And now your life will change, and that's the way it's meant to be, but you'll always be our little girl, so please, just a tiny bit, please stay Misty for me.
