LEGACY OF LOVE

A SOUL FULL OF LOVE, HER ARMS REACHING OUT
SHE WAS SO AMAZING YOU JUST WANTED TO SHOUT
FIRST THINGS CAME FIRST WITH HER, AND THAT WAS KIDS
SHE HAD A HEART FULL OF LOVE SHE WAS DYING TO GIVE
SHE MADE THE DAY A PLEASURE FOR ALL SHE TOUCHED
A SMILE, A GESTURE, IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH
FOR THE LOVE THAT EMITTED FROM HER SOUL
WAS TRULY A THING OF BEAUTY TO BEHOLD
NO SAINT WAS SHE BUT PURE FLESH AND BLOOD
BUT FOREVER IT WILL LIVE, HER LEGACY OF LOVE
FOR A CHILD WITH A PROBLEM OR ONE IN PAIN
THEY CAME BACK TO HER LOVING ARMS AGAIN AND AGAIN
HOW WE SURVIVE WITHOUT HER I'LL NEVER KNOW
GUESS SHE KNEW AHEAD OF US ALL IT WAS HER TIME TO GO
SHES WAY UP IN HEAVEN NURSING ANGELS WITH BROKEN WINGS
AND SOMEHOW I THINK SHE STILL WATCHES OVER THINGS
WITH A SMILE AT THE READY AND A TWINKLE IN HER EYE
ALL SHE WOULD SAY IS YOU WILL SUCCEED IF YOU TRY
THE LAUGHTER FROM HER LIPS WAS LIKE THE TINKLING OF A BELL
FOR ALL OF US WHO HEARD IT KNEW ALL WAS GOING WELL
SO WHEN I THINK OF HER THERES TEARS IN MY EYES
BUT I KNOW SOMEDAY I WILL MOURN NO MORE BUT ONLY IF I TRY
