Born on a Saturday afternoon
Sent straight from heaven above
A cry of life with thick black hair
A package wrapped in love….
Crazy hair and crooked smile
Chubby cheeks so pink
Running, laughing, playing hard
Just yesterday, I think….
Giddy screams of sheer delight
As sisters chase and squeal
Giggles filling up the house
Signs of love so real.
Sleep-overs and parties
Pillow fights and games
Noisy, silly girl talk
Whispering cute boys’ names.
Hours spent on basketball
And learning how to drive
Dressing up for dances
Learning about life.
Life changing trips to Africa
Going off to school
Amazing teacher being formed
Lifelong friendships grew.
Girl meets boy along the way
And soon they fall in love
This match was made in heaven –
The place where she came from.
A ring is on her finger
Soon she’ll wear a dress of white
Her name will change, as will her life
As she becomes his wife.
She’ll be married Sunday afternoon
With friends and family there
A lovely bride will walk the aisle
With flowers in her hair…
A mother sits with tear stained cheeks
Remembering the day
Of chubby cheeks and belly laughs
Seems like only yesterday.
But this girl’s become a woman
Giggles change to laughs of joy
Awkward stages melt to loveliness
‘Cuz the girl has met her boy.
The dreams of mom and daughter
Are quickly coming true
My precious, wondrous Brittany
I couldn’t be happier for you.
……..I love you, Brittany Cole Jarvis!!!!! So excited for your special day! Incredibly proud of you and completely thrilled for all that God has in store for you and Brendan 🙂 See you tomorrow!!!
