Guidance on the Aisle
A mother's joy, a tender glance,
She watches as the candles dance.
Her son, once boy, now proudly stands,
A future shaped by loving hands.
Each step he takes, she's by his side,
In gentle strides, his silent guide.
Her love, a quiet stream that flows,
Through years of joys, through hidden woes.
In softest light, her tears may gleam,
For all the dreams she dared to dream.
His hand in hers, a fleeting clasp,
A bridge to future from the past.
Today she sees, in this grand room,
Her heart's work groomed to meet his bloom.
A mother's love, both deep and true,
Blesses the path he will pursue.

Silent Blessings
Soft shadows fall as vows are said,
Her heart a fluttering silken thread.
Eyes aglow, she stands aside,
A silent cheer on this joyful ride.
With each promise her son declares,
A tapestry of past prayers shares.
His smile, her peace, quietly won,
Under the gentle kiss of sun.
Her role shifts as she watches him,
A new chapter, on a whim.
Yet in her gaze, love softly spun,
From dawning light till day is done.
As he steps forward with his bride,
Her blessings whisper, deep inside.
A mother's love, forever sewn,
In the fabric of his new home.
