Aris

Aris and Andrew it is with all the love in my heart I grant you both my blessing and that of my ancestors. May it prove to be enough."

 Friends who played with you on birthdays

through all the laughter and the tears

Alongside whom, your gifts would bloom

with secrets shared over the years

The nights you cried yourself to sleep

for the things that I'll never know

I'm sure you knew, as I did too

 time would pass and you would grow

You've made it through adolescence

finished college, then got engaged

I'll cry the day, you go away

and lament on just how I've aged

I will be right there beside you

 proudly walking you down the aisle

Then let you go, face all a-glow

father charmed by his daughters smile

Author's Note

"Aris and Andrew it is with all the love in my heart I grant you both my blessing and that of my ancestors. May it be enough"
My daughter Aris's life is about to change. Her fiance is arriving home tonight on a flight from Afghanistan. I am going to be the man who walks her down the aisle fulfilling her childhood dream of getting married to prince charming. Has it really been that long?

[Lyn Anderson]

A beautiful tribute to a child growing up.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you KL I have been off for a while I miss frieda and cant seem to get back in the groove without her wit .

[NoelHC]

Such a beautiful description of a child growing into a beautiful woman, and starting a life of her own. I recall those feelings and thoughts walking our daughter up to the altar as well.
Such a fitting song selection for this piece, pulled at my heart as soon as heard those first notes, Alan Jackson keeps it real.
Well done Tate.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Noel. I will surely be at my best the day i walk her down that aisle
