A Daughter's Promise

Every time that I smile
Every time that I sigh
I think of your face
And a tear escapes my eye

You were my world
My inspiration and my heart
But when you left me
I thought I would fall apart

You were my best friend
My one true "confidante"
And that's not all you were
You were also my mom

I didn't want to live without you
But you would have wanted me to
And if there's anyone I want to make happy
That anyone is you

I would have given anything to have you back
But I know now that it was meant to be
For you are still watching me

I'll make you proud mom
I'm going to fulfill your wish
You're going to see me and smile
That's a daughter's promise.
