Written for my mother after she passes |
mom, you were my strength when all I felt was weakness you believed in me when I couldn't (or didn't) believe in myself but I see now this whole time you were just surrounding me with the wings of an angel you stayed loyal to your family no matter the consequences you fought for us because that's what you believed in most, family you never turned your back on us but now I can see you were just surrounding us with the wings of an angel you were the strongest woman I've ever known you were a wonderful daughter an amazing sister a thoughtful grandmother a loyal wife an amazing woman but most of all you were the best mother anyone could of ever asked for its just to bad we never saw we were just surrounded by the wings of an angel you were a healer to animals you respected mother nature you could grow any plant or take the sickness from any animal that ever needed you you had a very kind heart its just to bad it was never known that we were being held by the wings of an angel whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on you were always there no matter what time of the day or night if I needed my mom you were always there to loan me your strength and to remind me of how loved I really was you held your head up high and no matter what you always handled yourself with pride and never once gave up your independence its just to bad we never knew we were being protected by the wings of an angel maybe if we knew then we would be able to understand why god took you so soon you were my guardian and my protector and now I understand I've always been in the presence of an angel so mom I say to you now what you always said to me every night "have sweet dreams and sleep with angels" now you are home with your mom and dad and your son you will never be forgotten and you will always be loved I love you mama |
