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

Having a mother is one debt we can never repay.
She is a blessing, has given our lives a meaning.
We wouldn't be here today without our mothers!
They are the best thing that could have possibly happened to us!
I loved your poem as well as the sentiment attached to it, Colton.
Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you very much, Ishita! I couldn't agree more! I have no idea where I would be today without my mom. She is amazing. She enjoyed this so much she cried! A good cry, though. Thanks you for reading!
