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!
