To my Future Father in Law

To the man who gave her her first steps and name, Whose love, like a lighthouse, lit her through rain— Before I held her hand in mine, It was your strength where she would shine. I vow not just to love your daughter dear, But to honor the trust that brought me here. To guard her smile the way you did, Through every storm, through every bid. You've watched her grow from child to grace, And now, with tears, you give her place. But know this truth as deep as skies: In every promise, your role still lies. For in her laugh, I hear your song, In her courage, where you belong. You raised her with a heart so wide, That even I found home inside. So I vow to be not just a husband and friend, But a son to you, till journey’s end. Thank you for the gift you give, In her, your legacy shall live.
