A Daughter’s Promise

Every time that I smile,
Every time that I sigh,
I think of your face,
And tears escape

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 moma.

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 moma

I would have given anything to have you back,
But I know now that it was meant to be,
For you are still watching from up above,
And I know you're watching me.

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

She played a different roll in all our lives, a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother & aunt. No matter what the love we have for her is one! Ask anyone, they'll tell you the same. She brought us joy when we had pain, the strength of one woman held all of us together even more now than ever. She isnt physicaly here, but we still feel her near in every step we take & every moment we make. What shes given to us no one can ever replace. Who was once our rock is now Gods Angel!! Love you Aunt Donna!!
