Felix Albrecht, Poem for Mom

FELIX ALBRECHT

You are the guardian angel that was sent to protect; Your love and God's love always seem to intersect. You are slow to anger and quick to forgive; You show us how to act and teach us how to live. It’s evident that you are no stranger to pain. You’re not exactly broken, you somehow remain. Then when the morning comes, we come into the room; Nothing else matters like seeing your children bloom. You feed us til we’re full, our stomachs and our hearts, You comfort us with your arms while we’re falling apart. You keep us in your prayers, so that we will not fall, Through victories or failures, you help us stand tall. I may be an adult, but this will always be true: You are God’s blessing to me, Mom, thank you.
