"HEIRLOOMS" IS A SPECIAL SONG I WROTE FOR MY MOTHER. TO HEAR THE SONG PERFORMED, GO TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM  UNDER VICKIE BELMORE.

                                                HEIRLOOMS

WRITTEN BY VICKIE BELMORE

EVERY YEAR WE SEE THEM,

ALL THE BRIDES OF JUNE ...

ADORNED IN GOWNS OF LACE AND WHITE,

WEARING THEIR OLD HEIRLOOMS.

A PICTURE PERFECT VISION,

FOR EVERY LITTLE GIRL.

AS SHE DREAMS OF THE DAY,

SHE INHERITS GRANDMA'S PEARLS.

AN HEIRLOOM IS A TREASURE,

A VERY PRECIOUS GIFT.

THE HEIRLOOMS THAT MY MOTHER GAVE,

I NEVER WILL FORGET...

SHE TAUGHT ME BY EXAMPLE

TO BE A FAITHFUL WIFE.

TO ALWAYS PRACTICE KINDNESS,

AND TO LEAD AN HONEST LIFE.

THESE ARE NOT THINGS

THAT I CAN HOLD OR SEE.

THEY ARE FAR MORE VALUABLE

THAN JEWELS WILL EVER BE.

THESE ARE THE HEIRLOOMS

THAT MY MOTHER GAVE TO ME.

HANDED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS

IN MY FAMILY.

CLIPPED RIGHT FROM THE BRANCHES

OF MY FAMILY TREE.

THESE ARE THE HEIRLOOMS

THAT MY MOTHER GAVE TO ME.

SOMEDAY THE TIME WILL COME,

AND IT WILL BE MY TURN...

TO BE THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE,

AND PASS DOWN WHAT I'VE LEARNED.

I'VE TAUGHT HER BY EXAMPLE

TO BE A FAITHFUL WIFE.

TO ALWAYS PRACTICE KINDNESS,

AND TO LEAD AN HONEST LIFE.

THESE ARE NOT THINGS,

THAT SHE CAN HOLD OR SEE.

THEY ARE FAR MORE VALUABLE

THAN JEWELS WILL EVER BE.

THESE ARE THE HEIRLOOMS

THAT MY MOTHER GAVE TO ME.

LOVE CAN LAST FOREVER...

LOOK AT HER FAMILY TREE.
