Angels from Heaven (For Moms that Help at School) (New Poem)

Angels from Heaven

by Tim Kavi

To all the moms who help at school: 

never did the world see

in their beauty

and tireless missions

such pretty angels

as these mums

they must be from heaven

giving to the kids

in never ending

efforts, activities,

assuring students ascending

bringing their greatness

because these mums

make it all okay

make it all happen

in their grace each day

there is not one

student or teacher

untouched or unblessed

they really have done it all

Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall

that keeps the schoolyard

humming with many a happy kid

and the classrooms a place to learn

for kids to go home and tell all they did

these mums

are surely angels

messengers of hope and love

and we are grateful

they are sent from above

great mums always are

angels who arrive

from near and far

Angels from Heaven.

My second Mother's Day poem for 2014 is a new poem that was commissioned by someone who appreciates the moms who help out at her school.  (Reprinted with permission by that patron).  Moms are surely angels and surely helpful to children everywhere--as this poem celebrates their unique contributions to school life. They are referred to in many places as 'room parents' but to some lucky kids they are always 'mom.' ~~TK

There is Mom --Poem for Mother's Day With Photo (Poem)

There is Mom

by Tim Kavi

so what is this?

across the translucent orb

endless universe so vast

that God in his designs

would seek to make perfect

for sure to last?

but the need for what was created

man or woman

to never be alone?

but the sacredness

of family

of love

and of home?

and in that home

stands a sacred one

sure and true

the fortress of Mom

which every kid

growing up, knew

is true blue

in all she said

and did

until around

every troubled bend

twisted by life's

troubles

and uncertain wind?

there is the love

of God

and the love of Mom

gently guiding

assisting in fate

but always loving

there is Mom

there is Mom.

(This is a reprint of a poem that has been on this blog before on Mother's Day.  It is a very special poem as it was written for my own mother in 2010, and I read it at her Memorial Service in 2010.  Moms are very special and I am very lucky to have had a great mom who was always very special and as a child and adult--took care of me in so many ways!~~TK)
