Guardian Angels

Guardian Angels 

The most underappreciated beings-

Their affection and tender words are taken for granted,

Almost expected.

Not everyone is blessed with them,

But the ones who have them, only a few acknowledge them.

The reason why each one of us breathes today.

Take a minute and feel their presence,

For if it were not for them, there would be no trace of your presence.

 

Mother- you endured nine months of unbearable pain

To hear the innocent laugh and cry of the little life that doubled your heartbeat.

A bittersweet pain only you know of.

The one who has the ability to whole-heartedly support and harshly criticize simultaneously

The one whose dreams became a reflection of mine

The one whose prayers became a chance to plead for my happiness

A pure emblem of devotion, wisdom, and paradise.

Every word seems flimsy when describing the art of your giving,

Infinite perhaps, for your love is unconditionally limitless.

Mother-I owe this life that I have been endowed with to you.

 

Father-your idea of discipline always startled me.

At first, little did I know it was out of love to provide shelter

Mistaken as I had been, I continued to struggle in finding words for our accord

I assure you today that the eyes see more

More than they ever have.

The one who has practiced and perfected the act of kindness

The one whose silent actions speak larger than his words

The one whose spirited humor colors the cold atmosphere

Spreading my own little wings at free will is something you have greatly taught me

Whether it be through agitation towards you or the strength for you.

Father- I learned and I understand.

 

My Guardian Angels, the chosen ones by the Lord-

I write this for you,

Attempting to express the inexplicable.

I do not only fancy angels residing in heaven,

Since that would be robbing you both of your essence.

Now, the world awaits my steps

And the journey continues with endless possibilities.

All because of you.

Only because of you.

This is completely fascinating, a poem filled with loads of motivation and pure feelings. Sober and simple throughout with no lacking of respect for title and idea. I see this is the only poem you have published here, but it seems that you have been a rough writer/poet for a time. Because the patience and calmness in your poem is brilliant. Your parents must have seen this. :) They must be real proud for feelings that you keep for them. I would love to see more work from you as I can see a good poet/writer in you through your poem which is reflecting the awesome you. :) KEEP WRITING, and keep sharing. :) Best of luck for your future work.
