*It is my pleasure to be able to share with you all a poem written by my amazing mother!*
Borrowed Angel By Barbara J. Epps
I borrowed an angel
Only for a short time
My lil borrowed angel
Wasn't really mine.
The Lord called him home
One lesson I did learn
Angels are given to some
Others, a temporary loan.
Love and cherish your angels
For they aren't really ours
Treat them as if they were borrowed
No one is promised tomorrows.
When that time comes
Let them go with grace
Homebound they are going
Beside the throne, an eternal place.
I'll miss my borrowed angel
Tomorrow seems so very bleak
Thank you, Precious Lord,
Of all the mothers, you selected me.
To every mother who has ever had
to return a "Borrowed Angel"
