Your big blue
eyes, were as open as the sky,
I remember your
open hearted enthusiasm,
for everything you
tried,
you have your
mothers eyes,
I remember curling
photos of sunny summer days,
Paddling pools and
lady birds and all within her gaze,
She is watching
you,
In everything you
try,
You have your
mothers eye
And onward through
your childhood, through scraped knees and broken hearts,
Mopping tears and
calming fears, with the wisdom she imparts,
She is watching
out for you,
As you try life on
for size,
You have your
mothers eyes,
And into
adolescence, with all its changes and frustrations,
The late night
calls and arguments with their vivid illustrations,
She was watching
out for you,
Beyond the
tantrums and the lies,
What ever you say,
She knows that you belong to her,
You have your
mothers eyes,
And into calmer
seas of womanhood, on a footing that's more equal,
Through car crash
after car crash, and then again through every sequel,
She smiles and she
sighs,
When all is said
and done,
You have your
mothers eyes,
And suddenly a
crushing absence, a void is forced into our lives,
And in her last
moments you were the last to see her eyes,
But the last eyes
that she saw,
Were Her daughters
eyes,
You always caught
her eye,
And onwards in her
absence, looking on from heavens skies
Your daughter is
born,
And she has her
mothers eyes,
Some don’t
believe in heaven, but as you know I do,
And somewhere in
that cloud of witnesses,
She is the one
that's watching you,
In everything you
try,
You have your
mothers eyes
And I know, in a
sense, she is here with us, on this November day,
And I have a
feeling there's a few things that she would like to say,
She'd say that you
look beautiful, but then you always do.
She'd say that she
was really proud of you, that your inner beauty is shining through,
She's say don’t
forget to make God the centre of your life,
She'd say that
you're a fantastic mum and you'll make a fantastic wife,
She's say that she
couldn’t love you more, Keep your eyes upon the prize,
She'd say 'lay
down your life for love, because true love never dies',
And most of all
she'd say, where ever you go, what ever you do, as you try life on
for size
She'd say that you
will always,
Have your mothers
eyes.
