From Mother To Me

From the heavens above you 
                                           were sent down to me
                                      like a red peddled rose you 
                                          are beautiful and free.

                                       Your long blond hair, and 
                                          your big blue eyes, 
                                       you look like an angel that
                                        has been sent in disguise.

                                        You have touched my soul
                                       in such a deep way and you
                                           lift my spirits each and
                                                   every day.

                                       You are not only my daughter, 
                                        but the closest friend I knew, 
                                        It's obvious you were sent to
                                            teach me something too.

                                             You tested me on my 
                                                mothering skills 
                                           before you passed away, 
                                          these mothering skills I'd
                                          never had known had you 
                                             not been sent my way.

                                           It scared me for life when 
                                            you died that day it just 
                                               wasn't right he take 
                                                    you that way.

                                              Your pass was issued for 
                                              seventeen years, and now 
                                              that your gone my hearts 
                                                       full of tears.

                                              My darling child I love you so, 
                                                 I miss you so much and
                                                 just wanted you to know
