Angel Mom

Love lives forever;
it’s energy spreads
wide with wisp

of wings, blowing
breezes over me
like mom’s kisses,

warm happiness washes
over my being.
She is now light,

like energy love’s
power never fades.
With a glance

at her coat
chair, or Bible
I remember, hugs.

Sense of humor
lives too; playing
hide and seek

with me, giggling
as she flies by.
I live and thrive

because she gave
me independent creativitiy.
Wiping away tears,

remembering cloudy days
bring light; rainbows
cannont be formed
without the rain.
