I promise to smile Maa

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.
