' A Daughter's Promise ' !
EVERY TIME THAT I SMILE
EVERYTIME THAT I SIGH,
I THINK OF YOUR FACE,
AND A TEAR ESCAPES MY EYE.
YOU WERE MY WORLD,
MY INSPIRATION AND MY HEART,
BUT WHEN YOU LEFT ME,
I THOUGHT I WOULD FALL APART.
YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND
MY ONE TRUE ' CONFIDANTE '
AND THAT'S NOT ALL YOU WERE,
YOU WERE ALSO MY MOM.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
BUT YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED ME TO,
AND IF THERE'S ANYONE I WANT TO MAKE HAPPY,
THAT ANYONE IS YOU.
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO HAVE YOU BACK,
BUT I KNOW NOW THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE,
FOR YOU ARE STILL WATCHING FROM UP THERE,
AND I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING ME.
I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD MOM,
I'M GOING TO FULLFILL YOUR WISH,
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ME SMILE,
THAT'S A DAUGHTER'S PROMISE !
LOVE YA, ~Barbara

That was so beautiful, I still miss my mom everyday and wish she were still here. Love that song, my mom was my hero too. This brought a tear to my eye, thanks for the memories!
Love and hugs, Jean
ahh, so beautiful!
I\'d share, but my daughter already thinks i am corny enough!
That is really beautiful what you wrote here for your mom. Such lovely words, thank you Barbara for sharing this, I am sure your mom would have loved this so much. Hugs x
BEAUTIFUL Barb................Simply beautiful. Your mom will always be a big part of you .. and the Lord comforts us in ways that are special.. Like you talked about. Just small things but we get it.
Gentle hugs to you.... Your mother raised a wonderful daughter.. She was a gem. You do her proud. xoxo
The words you used were beautiful Barbara! I wish I had my mother here too but also know she is watching over me now. We know they are in glory now with our Father, no more pain, sadness, sickness, they are free from all that now. I am tearing up here but wanted to tell you that was a beautiful tribute! love you!
Wow, so very very beautiful, what more can I say.
