When I was born I was named for you.
Dark hair with rosy cheeks and eyes of blue
My parents held me, took me in their care.
I'm sorry, Mary, that you weren't there.
As I grew I came to admire
The best dressed woman with handmade attire.
An amazing bowler, yes, the best in town.
Deep, sultry voice with eyes of coffee brown.
I wear the pendant that your husband gave
On the back of it your name's engraved.
For someone else, this gift was given, true
But I always think it was meant for you.
I'm all grown now, my mom is my best friend
To learn and grow this mother-daughter trend
She tells me stories with a wistful smile.
She says I look like you when in profile.
I know a lack of faith can numb your mind
Leave you lost and lonely in the trying times
And with the baggage of your mother's scars
Preventing you from being who you are
I wear the pendant that your husband gave
On the back of it your name's engraved.
For someone else, this gift was given, true
But I always think it was meant for you.
I wear the pendant that my grandpa gave
On the back of it my name's engraved.
Though it's not the way I spell "Maire"
I always think that it was meant for me
I try to heal the pain you bore daily
I always know that you're enough for me.
