THROUGH MY MOTHER'S EYES

I SEE REFLECTIONS OF HER

LIFE OF HOW IT USE TO BE

WITH A HEAVY BURDEN SHE

CARRIED UPON HER SHOULDERS

AND THE WORRIES ABOUT HOW

DAD WOULD BRING ANY SOURCE

OF MEANS TO HELP FEED HER BABIES.

THROUGH MY MOTHER'S EYES

HER KIND GENTLE HANDS

HOLDING, CREASING EACH CHILD

AS SHE REASSURED EACH

OF US THAT

TODAY WILL BE BETTER

AND ALL

WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.

THROUGH MY MOTHER'S EYES

I SEE HER TALKING TO GOD

AND ASKING EVERY DAY

THAT HE WOULD WATCH OVER HER

CHILDREN TO MAKE SURE

THAT THEY WOULD GROW UP

WITH LOVE IN THEIR HEART AND

UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS

WHO MAY BE LESS FORTUNATE THAN WE.

THROUGH MY MOTHER'S EYES

SHE CARRIES NO SELFISHNESS

ONLY CARE OF HER FAMILY,

GIVING HER ALL

TO US TO MAKE OUR

LIFE JUST A LITTLE MORE EASIER

THAN WHAT SHE HAD.

HER GREAT STRENGTH

AND ETERNAL BEAUTY AS SHE

HOLDS US ALL DEAR TO HER HEART.

SHE REACHES OUT

AND WIPES OUR TEARS TELLING US

IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

HER SOFT SPOKEN VOICE SAYING

NO MATTER HOW THINGS MAY

BE OR LOOK THERE WILL BE

TOMORROW AND ALL THINGS

WILL PASS AWAY UPON THAT NEW DAY.

THROUGH MY MOTHER'S EYES

I SEE THAT I WANT TO BE

JUST LIKE HER.

WITH THE SAME LOVE FOR

MY FAMILY AS SHE HAS FOR HERS.

MY MOTHER BEING

A ONE OF A KIND WILL

ALWAYS BE MY

GUIDANCE, CONFIDANT AND

STRENGTH TO CARRY ON FOR

THE REST OF MY LIFE AND THROUGH EACH

GENERATION.
