ANGEL EYES
I know how you must have felt,
as I look into the eyes of my son-
had you looked into mine
the same way when I was young.
I feel a love immeasurable,
surpassing space and time.
I feel God's grandest miracle
as he places his small hands in mine.
I know now how much you cared,
and what unconditional means.
I know now of your hopes for me,
and I know all of your dreams.
I hope with fervent prayer
that you can see the child before me.
I send pleas to all the angels
to give you eyes to see.
He will never know you,
your passion or your grace-
but he can look into my eyes
and see a copy of your face.
Oh, mother, I hope we meet again,
so you can tell me how I've done-
and with angel eyes we'll look at him,
as he looks into the eyes of his son.
