On her way

The princess calls me out tonight 

She looks so beautiful, strong and bright

Tears stream down my face 

As I look at my darling with her shining knight

taking her away 

shes so beautiful today 

I know he'll love you till the end 

Forever, we'll be friends

Baby, Its hard to see you go 

Leaving us for this young lad

You wont be around, but i'll be glad 

You deserve more than this whole world 

Show mummy everything you hold

My darlings leaving 

to start her life

I can tell you, this one thing 

She will be the most amazing wife

taking her away 

Shes so beautiful today 

I know he'll love you till the end

Forever, we'll be friends

This really got to me, being the father of a 20 year old daughter. It is beautifully written, very moving, especially for those of us that have watched our children go off on their own. Although it's much different, I have a similar poem. Perhaps you'd read it? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/jimparson/660757/
