Shari Ulrich - What She Left for Us lyrics

This is my mother's pillow This is my mother's bed This is the place she closed her eyes And laid her weary head Letters, maps and photographs That mark the march of time This is what she left for us to find I am my mother's shadow I am my mother's breath I am the force of a well lived life That never wanted less Be yourself and god is love And above all else, be kind This is what she left for us to find There's that smile There's her laugh There's her stubborn pride I see it all every day In my daughter's eyes You are your grandma's shadow You are your grandmas' breath You are the force of a well lived life That never wanted less So grab your future with both hands And let her spirit shine For this is what she left for us The family that she loved so much This is what she left for us to find
