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

At first read I thought it was a bit repetitive, I had to read it again to go deeper and that takes a huge amount of talent. This is a beautiful Mother's Day tribute, I'm sure she loved it.

[Colton Warr]
