Mother to Bride
From ribbons to roses, gently tied,
Echoes of lullabies softly reside.
Petals and promises under her wing,
Lessons of love, life's sweetest thing.
Mother's eyes, a tender gaze,
Bridal steps in sunlit haze.
Fingers lace, across the seams,
Dreams evolve beyond childhood beams.
Hand in hand, to the aisle,
Her heart beats in a rhythmic style.
A soft smile, under the veil,
Mother's joy, where words fail.
Today, a bride, the aisle she treads,
Mother's love in each step weds.
From girl to bride under her guide,
Mother's heart swells with pride.

Inspiration Behind
I wanted to capture the silent, profound bond between a mother and her daughter at a pivotal moment—transitioning from the familial home to forming a new one. The imagery of ribbons turning into roses symbolizes this beautiful progression from childhood to adulthood. In crafting this poem, I envisioned the softness of shared, quiet mornings and the subtle, yet profound teachings that occur in those unspoken moments.
