Poem Commentary

This poem was written in memory of just one of her great sacrifices..I was 18 & had cancer.going into the emergency room,mama was with me,came out of a coma,mama was with me.in the hospital for 2 months,mama was with me.2 months in bed.After I got out of the shower,I wrapped a towel around my head.I wanted to look pretty for my husband.I started crying & again needed my mom,my poor tired mom.here she was again with me,bringing me a wig and her love.Feeding me baby food,feeling my pain each time I took a bite.When I finally got out of the hospital,my mom is the one who caught the bus with me every week to go back to the hospital to get my chemo shots.And my mom was there to hold me and cry with me every night as I screamed in pain,throwing up from the chemo.My mom was with me holding me & crying with me when my husband left because he didn't think my hair would grow back.So you see why I call her my Angel.

MY ANGEL,MY MOTHER

MY ANGEL,MY MOTHER

God chose you for my angel

He knew you'd look over me.

He knew through good or bad

Like Him,you'd still love me.

 

You were always by my side

Through my joy and when I cried.

Through my sickness and my pain

You were there,nothing to gain.

 

Your love for me was true

Through your love,my love grew.

You taught me how to care

Even when others were unfair.

 

You had your own heartache and pain

But for me you left it behind.

You are my Angel from God

A beautiful heart,so giving and kind.

 

So always remember my sweet mama

That I will share your love.

I cherish all you've been to me

You are my Angel sent from above.

Very nice Linda - Your intro put in a poetic line was also poetry of a different kind. I could see the pain and forgiveness in you face. You are doing well - I see this and I say this, as a Spiritual Atheist.

Thank you Debbie for your inspiring words.I am so glad you liked it.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
