In My Daughter's Eyes

You know, I may never have the time where I will be able to sit down and write out what I've been up to these last few months. I have to mention this though. I just got off the phone with my mom (which is something that takes place everyday). We were getting ready to say our goodbyes for today, when my mom said that she wanted me to listen to a song. She said that the song was completely a song written for her and I. She also threw in there that she wanted the song played at her funeral. I hate it when my family talks about funerals (my grandma does it all the time). So anyways, I immediately started my music-downloading program, did a search, and the song downloaded in like 2 seconds (which never happens). Mom stayed on the phone while we listened to it together. Yes, the song is completely about us. It made me cry. Here are the lyrics to "In my Daughter's Eyes" by Martina McBride...In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I'm weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
Is had enough
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what we'll be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone
I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
