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

I love this poem.
"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"
I don't always talk like this because we aren't all so lucky. This is the first poem I find here with which I'm glad to say I can relate to it.

Your welcome.

This poem must be heard by all the mothers in this world. They would feel very honored, for this poem has made me appreciate my mother even more than I have normally done. You're sentences are a god send and they have even reached the depths of my heart. I will also work hard, for one day I want to become a god-tier writer like you. I will always believe in the awesome poems that you will create in the future. Have you ever thought about compiling your poems in a book and release it so more people will appreciate your talent?

Good job :D

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so very much, my friend!! Again, time after time, your reviews place a smile upon my face! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece! Your words are just too kind! I forever grateful for your reviews. You offer me encouragement and positivity within your words, I appreciate that! I'm glad this made you appreciate your own mother a little more! I appreciate your support and your belief in my words. You have no idea how much that means to me. I actually have thought about putting my poems in a book but I guess I'm a little unsure about how to do it. Do you have any pointers? I'd love to do that, though! Thank you so much for reading!

No problem, for your poems make my heart emit not darkness but light. You should have a look at this site: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Book-of-Your-Original-Poetry
And talk with the ones who are the most close to you and let them help you in the process. Learn from their feedback and carry on till the end. You have a lot of people who look day after day on this site only to look if Colton Warr has released a new awesome poem. Don't give your work to the first best site or businesses you see or will meet. Review them just as throughly as I review your poems for your work must never fall into the wrong hands. Research their background and scan their forums and look through the reviews that people have given them in order to know that your work will see the light. You can do it, for reviewers, writers and fans like me will support you until the very end and the people who you trust the most will also support you until your work has been published but never forget this: Don't write a book for the money, do it only because you feel that your thoughts must be shared and like to write :D

Wonderful tribute to mothers.
Mine was just as you describe, but alcoholism had estranged me from my family, and I wasn't there in the last few years of her life, nor was I there when she died.
Sober now, I hope she forgives me.

Great write.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, my friend! I'm happy you enjoyed this piece. We all make mistakes in life. Family always forgives, though. I'm sure one day when you guys see each other again in a better place she will brace you with open arms, as only a mother can do. Thank you for giving this a read. I'm happy you could see your mother in these words.
