Wedding day image of father and daughter

Alive in autumn

Beloved and new

Chosen to exist

By God and us, too


Born in the summer

A blessing, a girl,

Daddy’s little girl!

Our own priceless pearl


Snuggles and kisses

Noon teas, bike riding T

rail hiking and house

Fishing, four-wheeling


Evening dinner talks

Tutoring, fighting

Counseling, coping

Striving, succeeding


Singing downstairs or

Alone in your room

You’re pulling away

Becoming your own


So young and unsure

Am I good enough?

What do the boys think?

Why is this so tough?


True, God is enough

Yes, He set me free

But I want a man

Who loves me for me


Paige, do you see us?

Adoring parents

Who love you for you

We’re not here by chance


Our love’s unfailing

Our pride’s limitless

You’re more than enough

Do you believe us?


Well, here’s what we think

From our watchful care

By observation

We humbly declare


Sensitivity

For the young and old

So compassionate

A beautiful soul


Funny and playful

Loyal and fierce

Pretty, so pretty

A vision of bliss


Your strong work ethic

Propels you forward

Your perseverance

Sustains your reward


Patient to find friends

Who are kind like you

Graceful, forgiving

Loving, selfless, too


Believer in Christ

Faithful to our God

A friend to Jesus

A neighbor to all


A soft gift to us

Pure love from the start

Daily in our pray’rs

Always in our heart


One day to depart

With God’s chosen man

The one we’ve prayed for

Asked us for your hand


Remember our time

The good and the bad

Shaped you, molded you

See the plan God had?


You’ll be a great wife

A sweet mother, too

Strong, independent

Gentle, humble, true


Alive in autumn

Born in the summer

Blossoming in spring

Blessing our winter.
