"My Mother's Eyes"



I've gone through life never giving
much thought to how I was created.
"You do not look like your parents",
was a quote too many times stated.

Yet I arose this morning and began
my day staring into my looking glass,
and that old familiar feeling of recognition
stared back, but this time it did not pass.

I bent even closer as tears ran down,
there was no one to hear my cries,
for there in my mirror gazing back at me,
were my mother's eyes.

The same warm hue, that cried for me
whenever I was in pain,
has been given to me, by God, a gift, forever
to remain.

For when sweet Jesus calls her home,
and her soul to heaven will rise,
She will leave one thing bound to this earth.

For I have my mother's eyes
