I remember and I marvel
At the joy in my days
For no matter where I travel
These memories with me stay.
The love in my mother’s eyes
Gentleness in her touch
The sad day we said goodbye
For I love her very much.
Confidence in my husband’s stance
God’s light within his eyes
The steps we share in this dance
The kiss we share at each goodbye.
Pure joy and love our daughter brings
As a child and now a teen
Such life in the dreams she sings
Her uniqueness within we’ve seen.
The velvet strength in our Father’s love
His standard to be pure
His calling to each here and above
His presence within to hold us sure.
