I have your eyes

My daughter has your eyes

Forever I will have a part of you

And she will

And her children

Will see your eyes

You are strong

It takes strength to live

Your life

To work on top

And on bottom

To miss meals

And accept your wife missing meals

So that your children can eat

To raise six crazy kids

And not raise your voice

To leave work at work

To forgive and care for someone

Who should have always taken care

Of you

To open your doors

Time and time again

To survive great loss

To give in after all those years

And bow in faith to God

You are a rock

You are a firm and steady hand

You are a hero

You are so loved
