worthwhile - to my mother lyrics
amherst, new hampshire
a daughter, the eldest of five
your nose in a book. your quiet years
had your own idea of what your life would look like
and now you’re 18. your life changed
left home, out west for the golden state
met your love. had us three boys
your life’s painting was becoming a masterpiece
with a steady hand and a tender touch
a colorful mind. a creative heart
you began painting my favorite piece
hanging in our dining room, that european landscape
your life is artistic. gorgeous inside and out
you catch the world’s eye that falls for only the surface
a picture is worth a thousand words. here are a few of yours:
selfless, joyful, gracious, smart, beautiful
we share our brown eyes. look on the upside
you gave me my smile and my music mind
you pray every morning. laugh everyday
work hard into evening. you’d rather paint the town
than sleep. unlike dorian gray, mother, you age with grace. every year you somehow grow into more of a masterpiece
with a steady hand and a tender touch
a colorful mind. a creative heart
you’re the heartbeat of this family. in a dark world
you shine mother of pearl. now i’m just trying
to find a girl half of who you are
everyday i admire your painting
i’m so grateful god gave you to me
you color this world to make it look
like what your heart imagines it should be
your mark on our lives is never ending
true beauty is awe-inspiring
when god takes you home
all i want is your unfinished painting
