Eyes of an Angel

Well, I put on here the song about my dad so I guess I should put on the one I wrote about my mom.  Both my parents have been beyond amazing in caring for me as I have gone through this with my fall.  I know people are able to see the physical problems that I am dealing with, but I don't think anyone can grasp what I am going through emotionally.  It would be hard to deal with balance or vision or smell or taste or hearing problems, but I am dealing with all of this, plus more, at the same time.  It really is hard to lose as much as I have...so quick especially, I think. Everyday it is a battle to keep a positive attitude--I NEED THE ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THOSE AROUND ME.  Luckily, I have a family -and friends- that have stood behind and walked beside me through this whole ordeal.

The line that started this song was "Seeing me for the man I want to be."  Maybe I haven't accomplished anything too special in my life...YET, but I have the potential and the desire to do great things.  It is that which my mom sees, at least, I think so.  I don't feel like I have to prove myself to her.  Like I have to do anything to gain her love -- she gives that freely.

Beyond that line, I hoped to touch on her angelic presence in my life and the fact that she does watch over me in a lot of ways.  This isn't the only reason that I love her, but it is very important and has shown me how to love other people.  How to look at those I love and how to treat them. 

Mom and Dad, I love you!



Eyes of an Angel

There’s so many things about you that I have grown to love
Your smile, and your laugh, and your tender touch
But when I look at you, the first thing that I see
Are those pretty angel eyes looking back at me
So full of passion, kindness, and care
Saying that you love me, and that you’ll always be there

Oh, the eyes of an angel, so pure and so bright
Shining like the stars on a clear blue night
Seeing me for the man that I want to be
Oh, the eyes of an angel, watching over me

I have failed so many times, it seems
But when I lost all hope, you taught me to dream
When I was down, I found strength in your love
Because you believed in me, I never gave up
It wasn’t what you said, it’s the way you looked at me
That gave me the hope I needed, that made me believe

Oh, the eyes of an angel, so pure and so bright
Shining like the stars on a clear blue night
Seeing me for the man that I want to be
Oh, the eyes of an angel, watching over me
