ANGELS ARE MOTHERS
by Kathleen J. Shields
There are Angels God puts on this Earth,
Who care for us and guide us.
You can feel their love and gentleness
as they walk through life beside us.
They do great things for us every day
they whisper in our ears,
they even hold us in their hearts
when we are filled with all our fears.
They are always there to give a hug
and try to make us smile.
They treat us with respect and love,
they treat us like their child.
God blessed us with an Angel,
We’re proud to call our own.
She’s been with us throughout our lives,
been with us as we’ve grown.
She’s guided us the best she can,
she’s taught us like no other,
and we’re thankful we’re the lucky ones
who gets to call her… MOTHER.
