My Earthly Angel

   

.


 
My Earthly Angel

The child broke ‘way from her mom’s embrace,
Tears streaming down her tiny face,
“But Mama” she cried, you cannot go…
I need you here….. I love you so…..”
Her mother’s heart was filled with pain…
As she drew her daughter near again….
“My child”, she soothed, “you mustn’t fear…
For earthly angels are always near….
And when it’s time for me to leave….
You must promise me….that you’ll believe…
The world, I know, is a scary place….
But the angels…. they will keep you safe”…

The girl searched her mother’s weary eyes….
“But mama, how will I recognize?
Do they have wings, or do they glow?”
“Don’t worry, child, you’ll always know…
An angel’s love is so pure and true…
When your heart is hurting, they’ll find you”…
The years flew by, the child grew…..
In to this woman……who writes this poem for you….
With gratitude I’m here to say…..
I thank God for your presence, each and every day….
And My Earthly Angel, I want you to know….                                                        
I recognize YOU……
And love you so...
