Angel wings

Posted by John White on March 4, 2021, 20:13:04

Perhaps its just an idle fancy
Because your memory clings
When I see a feather purest white
Once again my sad heart sings
For in my imagination
The message that it brings
Is that you are watching over me
Breaking in your angel Wings
So when I find one in my room
Or to my coat it clings
I sense your loving presence
As you spread your angel wings

Did you make this poem up? It is so lovely. I am trying to make up a poem about my mam who had sadly died back in 2009. Nothing will come yet, but given time........

Thank you Stan and Sandra for your kind comments.
I began writing poetry over ten years ago when I
lost my wife Mary to Alzheimer's.Afterwards I began finding
feathers here and there around the house. I soon realised
they were from a new set of cushions I had .bought .
I was thinking about this on my way to a coffee morning
at the local church one day, and as I rounded
a bend in the road there on the ground was a circle of feathers
not a cushion in sight.
Make of that what you will. To Sandra keep on trying
and always keep a pen and paper handy. You never can tell
when inspiration will strike.

I went to a Funeral in Corbridge many years ago and everyone was given a white feather because of this belief.
When I lost my sister Marian in 2008, a little Robin appeared in our garden and would follow me round just feet away. I told my wife about it and we thought it something to do with Marian,just like the feathers belief story.

Norman - I took associate Robins with my dad and aunt. A long story which I will post on here one day. Also I have put together a couple of poems and will post them soon. Happy Sunday!

Thanks Sandra,
I'm glad to hear you also think that way. My wife used to say 'Marian is following you around' as it was so close and not frightened.

When Robins appear, loved ones are near. x
