I dreamt she was an angel

Published on August 10, 2006 By foreverserenity In Poetry

I dreamt she was an angel

An arch angel

Like a warrior princess

Standing guard, doing battle on our behalf

She was wielding her sword like a true warrior

As she was in life

There she stood, tall, fierce

But oh so beautiful

Her face so angelic, so young

Her wings so large, it seemed too big

For her small frame

And yet it was such a part of her

It made her look intimidating

But I was not afraid

And she talked to me

In a language I didn’t know

But I understood

She told me what to look out for

She swept away all that stood in my way

With her mighty sword

She stood in front of me

Wielding through the quagmire

She looked at me and smile

Reassuringly

And I knew that everything was going to be alright

Because she was there

Always watching

Even when I thought that she had forgotten

her promise

To watch out for us

As we continue in our reality

Overwhelmed by our own

She stands guard as always

Ever protective

She was our mom

She was our mom

Mom…..

I miss you

[dedicated to my mom October 15, 1941 – August 24, 2004]

Beautiful, Donna.

Earlier today I grabbed a CD I burnt of country and tejano songs. I was listening to it as I stretched out on the sofa and read the paper.

As I was reading I was singing the songs and when it came to a song my mom loved I started thinking of her. After that song I started the CD over and soon found myself sleeping, and I dreamt of my mother.

It wasn't a good dream. It was sad, and when I woke up the CD was at the song my mother loves. I started singing the song with all I had and started tearing up thinking about my mother. I wasn't crying because I was sad. I was crying because I missed her. I live so far from here, and I so miss the little things we use to do together. Afterwards I actually felt better.

Now hours later I come in here and see your loving tribute. With what happened to me earlier seeing your words made me bring out some more happy emotions. I think it was a sign for me to call her tomorrow.

Like Kelly said, Thank you for sharing it.

Chris, I'm tearing up reading your response. I'm glad that you went to call her. I know, when you live far away from mom it's not easy too. When my mom was alive she lived all the way in Jamaica and I was here. That was terrible difficult for both of us. My mom and I a great relationship, some turmoil when I was a teen but as I got older and as an adult we became even closer. She was my mom and I loved her more than life itself. I knew it would be hard losing my parents, losing them both within five years of each other and they were both so young still, has been difficult to cope with. I've moved on to the fact that they are gone, it's just missing them that makes it more difficult.

Anyway, Chris, I'm glad you liked it. I find myself coming back to it and reading it over and over again. I'm glad it touched someone else's heart too.

ForeverSerenity - Thanks for sharing this. I cannot imagine your loss, but if its anything like the loss of my father, my heart goes out to you.

She most likely was an angel.

An excellent poem and a real tribute. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you Buddah. Thanks a lot. She was, an angel, in more ways than one. That's a wonderful compliment from you Mr. Moskowitz. : ).
