Mom, The Heart of an Angel

The holidays are missing
The best one I have known,
You see she is an angel
With wings now, of her own.

Mom, in her example
taught us to choose the right,
We all went to church
and read scriptures at night.

A nurse in times of need,
a teacher with a voice,
She taught us to pray
before we made a choice.

The trials she endured
may have caused her to cry,
She was the strength
That helped me to get by.

She lit up the room
with her angelic smile,
in acceptance of all
that they stay for a while.

A life full of meaning,
at peace, she now rest,
It happened one day
when we lost the best.

Heaven gained an angel,
radiant her heart shine,
In celestial glory she rose
met with comfort divine.
