I just wanted to share the lyrics to a song written by a Mormon music artist and dedicated to her mother...
SHE
She is not the picture on the magazine,
She's the woman just behind you in the checkout stand
She may appear to be common, but she mystifies
In all the ways that wisest men and children understand
'Cause she has eyes that sparkle with her love
And she has a smile that's as gentle as a dove
And no woman in a movie or an ad
Could ever hope to be...
As beautiful as She.
She is not a highly honored diplomat
Held responsible to bring the world to peace
But what she does is every bit as serious
Amidst the turmoil everywhere that will never cease
'Cause she has hands that wipe the tears away
And she has a voice that makes everything okay
And no woman from the papers or TV
Could ever hope to be...
As indispensible as She
And it breaks my heart every time I see her wonder
If she means anything in this world that pulls her under
And she doesn't always see the way that heaven smiles above her
That's the reason I try to always tell her that I love her
'Cause she may not be known for giving millions
To the charities and auctions on the news
But I believe she's given more than anyone
On all the times she's ever had to choose
To give up sleep and rock her children every night
And give her heart to always hold their dreams so tight
And the best that you and I could ever hope to be...
Is as wonderful as She
And the best that you and I could ever hope to be...
Is as wonderful as She.
Arranged by Staci Peters
Words and music by Cheri Call
This is my very favorite song, because it describes my own mother to a T. I hope everyone who reads this also enjoys it.
