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

This poem really does describe what's so special about Mothers. Sure, they nag us all the time, and at times we think it is very annoying, but in the end, they do it because they care about us so much, and only want what is best for us. This is a very touching tribute to your Mom. :)

Colton: The Angels Among Us is a beautiful and befitting title. I love the poem, forgoing he sentiment I feel the flow is fantastic; The repeating phases/questions, Have you seen it? adds flavor to the lovely heartfelt content. Everything here is delightful and a wish for all children, and for all Mother's to know. You have created a power-packed emotional poem I love and others that read will too. I agree, my take is God does guide a Mother and that's the voice we here sometimes, maybe even a little intuition; they are part of our soul. I will say, even though I am so happy your Mother is still with you, one day we all leave, and even then, you will hear her. The ending is wonderful as well, she is an Angel Among Us, that will always love you and care...she is the shepherd, guiding with God's hand. Bravo. Great writing. I thank you so very much, and I know your Mother will be so proud of this writing. Thank you so very much! Dale
