She might not be there holding your hand
Or wiping away the tears you cry,
She may not be there to share your deepest secrets
Or be able to answer the big question ‘why?’
She may not be there when you want that word of wisdom
To tell you the way that you should go,
But she will always be in your heart wherever you are
Telling you all that you really need to know.
She has not really left you for she lives in your heart
You’ll hear her words speaking to you in whatever you do,
Whilst you will no longer be able to see her face
Her presence is here and remains with you true.
For nothing will happen that she is not able to see
As she watches over your every move,
For she is your star above lighting the way
And wherever you place your foot, she is the groove.
She loved you with every breath that she had
And her heart beat to share your joys and sorrows,
She watched over you to protect you with all that she had
And within your heart will be in all of your tomorrows.
But her life is now complete and her work all done
As she leaves you her daughter, a woman who made her proud,
So step out in her love for the rest of your life
And like her stand out from the crowd.
