A Daughter's Promise
© Allie B. Quaglieri
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 from up there,
And I know you're 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.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there...past, present and future!

Love that pic of you and your mom. Bananas is right - you are making her proud, especially today, by being such a wonderful mommy. Hope you have a wonderful day!
I was thinking about you earlier today. I'm sure today is a bit bittersweet for you, but I hope you have a wonderful day and your husband and son do something special for you!
Thinking of you today and wishing you a beautiful mother's day!
Thinking of you so much today...
what a beautiful poem for such a beautiful relationship. Thinking of you and sending hugs your way - I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Jamie sure is a lucky little guy to have such a wonderful and loving momma - your mom would be so proud:)
I hope you felt your Mom's presence with you yesterday on your first Mother's Day. I can do birthdays and holidays just fine but it's always Mother's Day that gets to me.
