My Angel

I lost my mom
When I was just
Eleven
The angels came
And took her hand
And took her home
To the promise land

Things that matter
To me
Are the things
my mother
Taught to me

She taught me to be
Loving and understanding
Respectful and kind
To look at the world
With my eyes wide open
Not to look at it
As though I were
Blind

She said,
there were people
Who get down,
on their luck
And I should
Lend a hand,
and help to
Pick them
Back up

She taught me,
to be gentle
Firm and strong
To stand up,
For what I believe in
Even if other’s
Think that I am wrong

I still recall something
My mother said to me
Right before she passed
Away
She whispered
These words
To me

She said
When you get,
to missing me
Like I know you’ll do
Remember,
this my daughter
I live on
Inside of you

Peek inside
Your heart
That is where
I’ll always stay
And if you,
ever need me
Just whisper
My name

In a few short years
That I had her
With me
She taught me so much
Still after thirty -five years
I miss her
So much

Her strength
Lives on within me
She helped to make me
Strong
Even though she’s gone
Inside me
She lives on

Still there are days
When a shadow falls
My Heart It Bleeds
I Still Can't Believe
she was taken From Me

I Try Not To Question
What God Has Done
I Picture her Sitting
in Heaven Up Above

She is missed,
By Those she Left Behind
I feel Grief,
Disbelief and Sorrow
Wondering,
How Can This Be
That my mom
Was taken from me,

Yet, I am Thankful,
For The Memories
That Will Sustain me,
For An Eternity
