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'm curious to know about the battle she's fighting, though I'm not entirely sure about rhyming battle with "embattled".

Love it.
I'm not an religious man, but those words touch my Hart.
I especially like the last part after the poem itself, that just gave me goosebumps.

Thanks for sharing Colton
