My Mother's Eye

Clara Ward


One bright and guiding light 
That taught me wrong from right 
I found in my mother's eyes. 
Those baby tales, those baby tales she told 
That the roads are paved with gold 
I found in my mother's eyes 
Just like a wandering sparrow 
One lonely soul 
I'm walking on, I'm walking on the straight and narrow 
To reach, to reach, reach my goal 
God's gift, God's gifts sent down from above 
A real unselfish love 
I found it in my mother's eyes.
