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 can only imagine how much your Mum loved this, assuming she read it? This is amazing, Colton. You really wrote a truly magnificent and touching piece to someone you love so dear. Mother's are Angels sent from above and they do everything and anything they can for us.

Your Mum has a talented man on her hands, I am sure she is über proud of you.
This poem touched me, amazingly well written.

Thank you so much, my dear friend! She indeed read this and she cried before she could even finish it. And it made me so happy to see her cry because I knew they were tears of happiness! She loved it! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement! You are the sweetest! I'm glad these words could also touch you! Thank you so much for giving this piece a read and thank you for you positivity and support!

Mothers are like angels - they love us unconditionally, and protect us of all evil ( or at least they try). You are obviously very talented at capturing reality and laying on paper. Congratulations!
