Mama's Hazel Eyes
When the storms frightened me,
I silently stood in the darkest corner...
Mama came running
to embrace me tenderly;
by the warmth of her lovely smile, I learned
how to go past darkness...
and by her encouraging words, I lived...
without fearing anything!
Mama's hazel eyes cried...
like lilies after the warm spring' rain,
and those tears kept me from useless pain;
Mama's hazel eyes stood
by her growing son...shivering but brave,
until he was ready to go far into life!
Now, Mama has found her eternal home,
and she happily sings in a chorus of angels:
in that peaceful Heaven of holy voices;
and I am hopeful...never uncertain and alone!
I'd like to watch Mama's hazel eyes
sweetly looking down on me,
so that nothing I can fear again!
Let other storms rage over me,
let them bring me more hard days...
and let the gusts of wind knock me down:
Mama will pick me up like an angel of mercy,
and fly me over the storm...to bring me to safety!
Mama, you have gone so suddenly;
many times I wish...it wasn't so real!
