An Angels Voice

“An Angels Voice”

I have been left alone in this world, to be cared for by strangers that have given me so much love that I could not describe it. But I remember a voice, I believe that it was my mother’s voice, because when she sang to me I felt like I was hearing the voice of a thousand angels, how beautiful that voice was, I don’t know what happened to that voice? for when I came into this world, I saw my mother’s face and she was so beautiful and I remember thinking that some day I will be just like her. .I was so happy. I don’t remember doing anything wrong, but she left me alone and I have never seen her again. I keep asking myself, what have I done mommy? But I can’t find an answer. When I grow up I will search the world for you mommy, I just need to know why you left me.
I go to school now and I am learning the colors, they are beautiful but not as beautiful as you are mommy. It was parent’s night at school and I went, because I thought that you would come. I waited but you never came, maybe you were busy. Its ok mommy I love you.
Today I celebrated my eighteenth birthday and I was sad because I have not found you, but mommy I heard your voice singing to me and the words that you sang brought tears to my eyes, like the ones you had when you left me. Mommy, before I forget, I met a boy the other day and he has asked me to go to the movies with him. I like him a lot and he is real nice I hope that you don’t mind that I go because I really like him, oh by the way his name is Tommy.
Mommy I have great news remember Tommy, guess what? We are getting married and we are going to have a party and I have a table reserved for you right in the front, just look for the table with the name mommy because you never told me your name. It’s ok that I don’t know your name because I could still smell your perfume and I could hear your heavenly voice, I hope that you could come so you could share this moment with me.
Today, mommy, I have given birth to a beautiful baby girl, she weighs 7 pounds and 5 ounces, and she is so beautiful mommy. As I was looking at her, I could not help but to cry because I could not understand what could I have possibly done to you mommy for you to leave. Please forgive me mommy and give me a chance to prove to you that I am a good daughter. I can’t help my tears as I think of you mommy, but to my baby girl I promise to always be there. I will tell her of a heavenly voice that I once heard and never will I forget. I will tell her that her grandmother loved her very much and that someday you will come to see her.
I am old mommy and the doctors have not given me very long to live and I am afraid that I will never get the chance to tell you how much I have always loved you. But if the chance I never get, this poem I leave behind for you to read.




TO MY MOMMY, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE

At times I wonder why I am here. At times I wonder why I have fear.
At times I wonder, why I was chosen to live, when there are so many more people,
With much more to give.
I don’t know the reason you left me alone, never sent me a letter, or picked up the phone.
But I want you to know,
And it comes from my heart,
I have loved you always,
Right from the start.
It seems so foolish when life got me down; I let life’s woes, give me a frown.
For even though you could not be there for me, you gave me life and you set me free.
Free to love the parents I had,
Although it sometimes made me sad.
For you are the one I wanted in my life, your love, your hopes, your shining light.
I will always remember your beautiful voice, for maybe you did make the right choice. Today is the day, my life comes to an end, If you are still out there, my love I will send.
Goodbye to you Mommy, as you once said to me, I hope that one day, this poem you will read.
I LOVE YOU MOMMY!
