Once upon a time an angel held my hand, <br />she wiped away my tears and helped me understand. <br />Our time on earth is brief, there's lessons to be learned, <br />each precious day God gives us another page is turned. <br />Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and tears, <br />triumphs and defeats through every passing year. <br />She loved us unconditional always by our side, <br />when no one else would listen in her we could confide. <br />With gentle words of wisdom she led us on our way, <br />down the paths of righteousness if ever we did stray. <br />She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets, <br />always from her heart let's us not forget. <br />Angels come in many forms, for me it is my mother, <br />with love I cannot say in words there'll never be another. <br />Every day I turn the page in my heart will ever remain, <br />everything she taught me as I stroll down memory lane. <br />Thank you God for giving me the most priceless of all treasures, <br />help me Lord to keep alive her memory here forever. <br />I pray that I can some day be everything she hoped I would, <br />that she's smiling down from heaven knowing she did good. <br />As we gather here today there's no ending to her story, <br />another chapter has begun full of grace and glory. <br />God's called her to his heavenly home part of his great plan, <br />although it may be hard, we all must understand. <br />Faith is what is hoped for, things we cannot see, <br />Heaven is promised to all of us if only we believe. <br /> <br />Written By Kathy J Parenteau <br />Copyright © 2012<br /><br />Kathy Parenteau<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-mother-my-angel-3/
