Momma Is An Angel
Submission to Summer Poetry Writing Contest-
By Angellynn
I remember mommas last breath
before she passed away,
when she pleaded with you Lord
to bless her final day.
~*~
Finding strength in her sickness
though each breath could be her last,
she held tightly to her Bible
I remember what momma ask.
~*~
"Lord, bless all my children
and keep them safe for me,
help them through this sorrow
give them peace, will you please."
~*~
As I prayed with momma
knowing soon she would be gone,
she took my hand and held it
I could feel her passing on.
~*~
But it wasn't sorrow that I felt
It was peace and serenity,
what ever flowed through momma
flowed to the heart of me.
~*~
Then there was silence in the room
as I slowly opened my eyes,
I saw an angel take my momma
but I wasn't at all surprised.
~*~
To me, momma's always been an angel
sent here to care for me,
and one day I will see her
where she was always mean't to be.
~*~
