MY MOTHER, THAT ANGEL

In life you were loved dearly and in death we still do.

An angel lived among us,
with eyes as sharp as a dagger.
Eyes that lit up the sky every night,
and a heart as deep as the ocean.
it was the same heart moulded in pure gold
that i had treasured so deeply.
She was a flawless gift from heaven
with a smile that had been made of sunshine.
I had seen that smile a million times over the years.
Sad it is that fate put that beautiful smile to rest so soon.

My mother, my Angel,
she held me close and loved me
protective as a lioness and fierce like the cheetah,
she shielded me always from harm's way.
With her intellect as bright as the stars,
she guided me and i followed.

I remember reaching out my small palm
to touch her beautiful face.
A face that's always been on my mind.
One with wrinkles full of experience
yet as mysterious as the other side of the moon.
Her cheecks were fair like a rose
and her skin glowed as diamond glints on snow.
I'd give a million stars to see you once again,
my mother, my Angel.
