Literary Titan Review Messages the Poem

This was only one of the poems written inside the storybook. There are many others. Here is what the Reviewer from Literary Titan had to say about after reading the storybook . . . My experience as a reader was emotional, and I commend the author for being open about her feelings while letting the readers inside the usually restricted area of a person’s psyche. The poems written for the departed soul of her daughter are beautifully expressed, seeping out the multitude of emotions of a parent. Moreover, the other feelings expressed in the book, whether it’s grief, anger, or resentment towards certain people, fate, or God, are raw and genuine. *********************************** Note: To finish the poem, you'll have to read the story.

Book Excerpt

Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter

So, through its string of heartfelt words, I gift my poem: My Little Angel.

My Little Angel, you’re gone now
Gone to a place where other Angels will show you the ropes
Learn all you can from ’em to quickly earn your wings
Sure, this old world was a destructive place to have lived
But you’re free, as free as an eagle, the sky, the moon, and the sun
No more worries, no more meds, no more fighting the toxic diseases . . .

And all those ugly things that living here does to one

My Little Angel, you’re starting life freshly anew
You have an eternal life and such a glorious life
You’re back home, from whence He sent you to me
When we were introduced, I was known as a Mommy figure
I named you, raised you, and gave you all my love
Mommies don’t really know it all, but I did the best I knew . . .
