Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

An Angel In Disguise

Merely a child yet now she is running the house
So many chores to undertake, her childhood is in tatters
How can she forget the day her dear mama passed away
Her father mourns secretly since he lost his beloved spouse
Precious memories of her in their hearts forever will stay
His darling daughter survived, and nothing else matters

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis February 9, 2015 at 7:16 PM Jan, I like this poem because it reminds me of a time when I was preteen, with much responsibilities before school. My big sister was flown to the States. I don't know which part was a blessing in disguise, but I survived. Hats off to you, my dear. Jan Allison February 9, 2015 at 7:25 PM Thanks for the lovely comment Iris - there are so many children that truly do act as 'angels' to their parents/siblings - so often they are unsung heroes:-) Hugs jan xx
