Angel- A Poem about Imagination, Reality and Mom-Child Relationship

Angel

“It may be after a hundred years

It may be after a while

But certainly you will meet your angel”

My mother told me earlier.

I couldn’t even wait an hour

But I had to

My mother said

An Angel will come sooner or later.

The angel is with me

It’s my protection shield

According to what my mother said

But I couldn’t see.

The angel will come someday

With love and peace

With grace and bliss

It would take the sorrow away

My mother used to say.

Everyone may leave me

The Angel will not

The Angel will come

And fight my enemy.

The angel can do everything

It will bring me the stars

It will play music in my ear

It will bring me all the wealth

It will take care of my health.

The Angel will come someday

My mother used to say.

When I am frightened

and lose my way

and drown in danger

The angel comes and ensures safety

My mother said

The angel was around me

But I couldn’t see.

Slowly I gained my confidence

I started to believe angel will save me from anything

It made my thoughts colorful

My dreams started to fly with wings.

Angel will come

My mother used to say

It will bring me all the good things.

I grew up slowly

I passed my school, college and university

There is nothing like an angel

Science taught me.

I could understand

What my mother said were childish fantasies.

Those were country legends or myths.

I am thirty four now

My mother is no more on the earth

She died before my first child’s birth.

Now I understand my angel has died

Those weren’t myths

She hadn’t lied.

My mother knew it all

The way I know now.

When my baby cries,

It seems like I will die

I say to my baby

don’t cry my piece of heart

you angel is around you

It will never let you fall apart.

Your angel will save you, in this angel earth.
