Mom, You're a Real Angel
by Emily Matthews
Mothers are angels without any wings
Who spread joy around
And do wonderful things
If an angel is someone
who's so filled with love,
it's a gift
that they constantly share,
If an angel is someone
who looks out for others
and gives them a nudge
here or there,
If an angel is someone
who touches your life
with a heart that's both joyful and wise,
Then even though mothers don't usually have wings,
they're angels in human disguise!
Mom,
may all the warmth and love you brought
to every life you touched
And all the joy you helped create
because you cared so much
Be given back to you today
to bless your life and show
How much you were loved and treasured, too
by everyone who knew you!
