Teardrops and Angels

Teardrops And Angels




Her mama lives in heaven.

She's in a better place.

Teardrops and angels,

is all that she knows.



She holds a piece of ribbon,

a tattered piece of lace,

a pattern and a couple

of lavender bows.



Her first grade graduation.

She only sees a space.

Her ears begin to tingle,

as the wind blows.



“No dress for graduation,

Is simply a disgrace.”

Her teacher rambled.

“Your mother should know”



(She said )

“My mama lives in heaven”,

as tears rolled down her face.

“She’s with me as an angel,

We talk when the wind blows”.



She said “Mama, You’re forgiven,

for leaving me this way.”

She could hear the wind chimes jangle,

Then her smile began to glow.



Her mama lives in heaven.

She's in a better place.

Teardrops and angels,

is all that she knows.
