The time has come for me to transition
From a daughter to a daughter in-law
My heart is filled with both fear and hope
As I embark on this new journey
I want to establish my own space
Without intruding on what others are used to
To create a home that’s filled with love and peace
Where all are welcomed
I’m excited to start this new chapter
To be a partner, a friend, and a loving wife
To build a future with the man I adore
And create a home that’s worth fighting for
But with this new responsibility is scary
I must navigate this new world with care
To honour the traditions of the past and the present
And create a space that’s respectful and pleasant
I hope to be a loving daughter in-law
And build a relationship based on trust and awe
To learn from the experiences of the past
And create a future that’s meant to last
With an open heart and an open mind
I’ll walk this path, no matter what I find
And with love in my heart, I’ll face the new day
As I transition to this new role, come what may.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.
