"BRIGHT EYES"

 She has eyes like her mother's--

The love comes shining through.

She enjoys helping others, always asking what she can do.

She became an instant mother of 3 children when she married

My Dad.  Meeting the youngest when she was 5 years old.

She loved, cared, and treated them like they were her own.

She's had health problems throughout her life, and family

Problems that caused her strife.

She's got a good head on her shoulders, though she doesn't agree.

She's taught me integrity, and right from wrong, to always do my best

And finish the job.  Most importantly she taught me to love, trust and believe

in God.  All my friends like her and visit with her from time to time.  

My neighborhood friend lost each of her family tragically at different times.

Mom says she's her adopted daughter, and we hang out together and trade advice.

Along with God, she's my confidant and friend.  I'm proud to call her "Mom", I'm kid #4.

She's my angel on earth, and when God gives her her wings and calls her home, she'll

be my angel in Heaven.  She's my mom but I call her "bright eyes" and I love her very much.
