My Mother's Eyes

"Tears In Heaven"

"My Mother's Eyes"

I've gone through life never giving
much thought to how I was created.
"You do not look like your parents",
was a quote too many times stated.

Yet I arose this morning and began
my day staring into my looking glass,
and that old familiar feeling of recognition
stared back, but this time it did not pass.

I bent even closer as tears ran down,

there was no one to hear my cries,
for there in my mirror gazing back at me,
were my mother's eyes.

The same warm hue, that cried for me
whenever I was in pain,
has been given to me, by God, a gift, forever
to remain.

For when sweet Jesus calls her home,
and her soul to heaven will rise,
She will leave one thing bound to this earth.

For I have my mother's eyes

Thanks to my friend Cindy for this lovely poem.

This poem is so very true, although this quote was never used on me "You do not look like your parents."
I look into the mirror and I also see my mother's face,
and I look down at my hands and I see my mother's hands.

A Rose For Mom
With Love

Gone Before

When on earth you walked with us,
and met us face to face.
Remembering all the times we shared,
our heart's to guide our pace.
Along the paths of life we walked,
You have but gone before.

We cannot think of you as gone,
to walk with us no more.

To remember all our quiet talks,
and the love you shared with us,
It makes it easier to understand,
that this was meant to be.

We cannot think of you as gone,
to talk with us no more.

You meant so much to everyone,
You met from day to day.
You made us all feel special,
in your own enchanting way.

We cannot think of you as gone,
to be with us no more.

Though now you're gone, we will not weep,
or dwell in misery.
For you are in a special place,
With GOD ... eternally.
