When you were by my side, <br />I never knew you, quite understood you, <br />With you to correct me, to hold my hand, <br />I never recognized you, or your love. <br />Your admonishing, your stern looks, <br />I mistook, for anger, for cold heartedness, <br />But I failed to see the love beneath, <br />The care, the warmth, the love beneath. <br />Your smile, your soothing touch, your words of concern, <br />Now my loss, my pain, loss of a shoulder, to lean on. <br />Distance between minds, now between us, I- <br />Repent, a ‘Sorry’, I wish to tell, yet unable to. <br />My mother, my guardian angel, I miss you today, <br />In this city, in this cold fast city.<br /><br />Sreeja Sreedharan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-guardian-angel-9/
