To My Angel Mother

I count my blessings everyday to have a mom like you. You’ve always been there come what may, to lift my mood when blue. You say that God sent me down as an angel just for you, But really God let me choose, I swear to you that’s true. I saw that we could always be there for one another, And that’s why God sent me down I chose you for my mother. I am the woman I am today because you raised me so, You taught me well and helped me grow, and then you let me go. You are my mother first of all, but now you’re my friend too. I never strayed all that far, I like to stay close to you. Our relationship is a special one I’m sure you would agree. When I am needed I shall come, you can always count on me. I know that you feel the same, I am always welcome home. A warm embrace, a happy face no matter where I roam. You mean so very much to me, you know that it is true. I’d walk the very fires of hell, if that’s what I had to do, To stay the ever loving daughter, and be best friends with you.

Congratulations on your featured poem. It reminds me of my mother who is living with one of my sisters in a very far country. I am planning to visit her one day next month. Post some more. Ernilando
