Heaven's angels reside above,
and my angel resides below.
Her halo is her crown of love,
and her tender smile forms it's glow.


Drove many miles to work each day,
worked fields till her fingers bled.
Still making time for us to play,
after the feast I was fed.

Read me stories and tucked me in,
planting her kiss upon my head.
Installing her love's light within,
before she would leave my bed.

She taught me Scriptures of the Lord,
and led me each day with prayers.
Taught me of salvation's reward,
and kept me climbing life's stairs.

My angel resides on this earth,
her wings tender arms of mercy.
Wrapped around my heart from birth,
to gently hold and protect me.

{Happy Mother's Day Mom}
