The Angels Among Us

A dedication to my Mom...

The Angels Among Us

A Poem by Colton Warr

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” Abraham Lincoln

Have you seen it?

I have, the glimpse of God’s love

I’ve seen it in my Mothers heart

As wholesome and pure as a dove

Have you heard it?

I have, the music of an Angels harp

I’ve heard it in my Mothers voice

A word of love when standing on the scarp

Have you felt it?

I have, the calming of a friends touch    

I’ve felt it in my Mothers hand

A constant healing, even now is such

Have you heard it?

I have, the sound of a raging battle

I’ve listened to it my whole life 

And for me, until she is gone she will be embattled

 

Have you seen it?

I have, the light ever-burning through the black of night

I’ve seen it in my Mothers love

She is Gods star in my life, shining ever-so bright

*****

A Mother has a divine and glorious purpose to love her children

Through sunny and stormy days, like a shepherd, she will tend

My Mother is my hero, unsung and tough

And my family would agree, she is an Angel Among Us

That is a wonderful piece! That's a wonderful and descriptive way to describe your mother! Every mother is an angel and a great gift that comes straight out of Heaven and sent from God! Never take advantage of your mother and show how you love her!! Great write, Colton! Never quite the great talent, my friend!

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more! I have no idea where I would be without her! She's been there for me through thick and thin! A true gift from God! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece! Thanks for giving it a read! I appreciate the kind words too!

Hello Colton :) What an amazing tribute to your mom. I do hope you've read it to her - she will be choked up for sure... The format of your poem is really effective - love the question and answer style. The likening of your mother's attributes to that of heavenly beings is lovely.
A well crafted and enjoyable read.
Kindest regards, Debra :)

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much for the kind words, Debra! Indeed I have read it to her! Right before we went to church that day, she had to go back upstairs and put more makeup on! She loved it! Thank you for stopping by and checking this one out!

[Debra White]
