Traditions Poem by Dianna Nally

In every family there is tradition
for special times in their life.
In mine that special time was the
day you made me your wife.

After we said our wedding vows, we
gave each others mother a rose.
We're no longer two families, we are one.
And we've shown our acceptance with those.

I hope someday our children will all
see how special this moment was for us.
And just how much we love them all
And what tradition means to us.

But most important, the joining of family
And the love of two that became one.
And the acceptance of them all, and the
warmth of their hearts inside
Once their new life has begun.

Now their on their own, and they have left the nest.
But remember we'll always be here
if you need a shoulder to cry on, or just someone
to listen. Remember we will always be near
