Poem Title:
Poem
~~ I was born on a stormy winter day into a Roman Catholic family, My parents took us to church on Sundays as they were taught; My sister died when I was only four years old not understanding, I was told God needed another angel. I think that was the last time my mother ever went to church, Although she never denied us and left that choice to each; At school nuns drilled me on the Roman Catholic beliefs and rules, But I am not sure I ever really understood. I married young and soon I was a new mother with a baby, A baby boy so very beautiful and then one day he just died; Angry and full of hurt and pain I asked God, why, why, why, why, And I was told God needed another angel. At that moment I understood my mother so completely, I did not turn my back but took a few confused steps back; Sunday church became a thing of my past although I prayed, God and I have fought a battle through the years. There have been times and still are when I am very sick, And it seems to me that each time God has been with me; Giving me the courage to go on or was that me all the time, Then my mother died and I was left hurt and angry. And again I was told God needed another angel. ____________________ February 1, 2015 Poetry/Verse/God's Need For Angels Copyright Protected, ID 15-637-469-01 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Fighting God, sponsor Rob Carmack, Judged 02/2015 Sixth Place
