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

I don't always talk like this because we aren't all so lucky. This is the first poem I find here with which I'm glad to say I can relate to it.

Your welcome.
This poem must be heard by all the mothers in this world. They would feel very honored, for this poem has made me appreciate my mother even more than I have normally done. You're sentences are a god send and they have even reached the depths of my heart. I will also work hard, for one day I want to become a god-tier writer like you. I will always believe in the awesome poems that you will create in the future. Have you ever thought about compiling your poems in a book and release it so more people will appreciate your talent?

Good job :D

Wonderful tribute to mothers.
Mine was just as you describe, but alcoholism had estranged me from my family, and I wasn't there in the last few years of her life, nor was I there when she died.
Sober now, I hope she forgives me.

Great write.
