When I grow up I want to be like my Mommy.
I will walk through life with my chin up high.
And won’t be afraid of what’s to come.
At the end of my path
Is a great reward
So I try not to be very glum.
I walk on through each day,
Though I don’t feel very brave
And I often feel lost and alone.
I walk on, walk on
With hope in my heart,
I am really not alone.
For Mommy’s angel is watching over me.
Mommy’s angel is there, don’t you see?
I will never be alone.
My apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein for any likeness to "You'll Never Walk Alone".
It was purposeful.
Somehow their wonderful song came to mind.
What can I say, imitation is the best form of flattery!

Oh how sad. Good job! Amazing how each of us thinks of something different when we see the prompt. laurie @ http://dealingwithmyinnercritic.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThere is a sadness to this one. I'm sure there will be other things to remind her of mum other than heels.
ReplyDeleteMine is late but it's here
Oh man. This made me cry. Gosh. It made me look at the picture in a whole different light.
ReplyDeleteI can see the Dad just giving in to what the little girl wanted because...well...she doesn't have a Mom active in her life.
This was really touching.
