The Promised Kiss by Kathleen Higham I saw her from a distance Her hair was white as snow A daughter walked behind her There was love there, I know. It was rude of me to stare But I missed my mother dear This elderly woman touched me Her voice I wanted to hear. She walked by ever so slowly To her daughter I would glance Your mother is so, so precious Could I hug her by chance? She was tiny, delicate, but regal She wondered what was amiss But when I hugged her to me She surprised me with a kiss. I told her of my mother I am sure I was a sight Rambling words so revealing, but Those mother's eyes held me tight. She told me not to worry Someday we'll share the bliss And when I see you in Heaven I'll give you another kiss. There I stood in wonder Was she an angel from above? She might see my mother first And share my words of love. Oh my heart was warmed tonight For a mother that I miss But we will meet again someday When I claim the promised kiss. |
