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

We say here in India that sons may do bad to their mothers but there is never a mother who will think bad or do bad to her children. Touched my heart. Truly emotive piece.

That is truly awesome! That sentence encompasses how I feel about my mom and how I think most people think of their moms! I'm glad you liked this one! Thank you for reading!

Very passionate. True mothers are a gift from god. This poem makes me wish I had this kind of relationship with my mother. Bravo sir.
I hope she can read this wherever your mother is.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, Samuel! They are indeed gifts from God! Well perhaps there is still time for that relationship to get to where you want it! I appreciate the kind words! She read it and she cried! A good cry, though! Thanks for giving this a read!
