    Poem Commentary

    this poem is about the strained relationship between my 10 year daughter and I.

    angel

    There's an angel in my home
    although she doesn't know it
    she is so busy putting up walls
    and being angry
    she doesn't know how to show it.

    I can feel her there
    my angel with the sandy blonde hair
    but when I speak to her
    she doesn't listen,
    says she wants to be alone

    We try to get close,but don't know how
    every word comes out bad somehow
    and the closeness we need to share
    doesn't show up anywhere.

    The angel is sad and so am I,
    the angel is loved and doesn't know it
    If I could only let her know somehow
    maybe she would smile
    this house would sure be happier
    if she'd let me love her once in a while

    for my daughter,alexis

    the angel may want to know it but do not know how, you may want to show it but do not know how, either of the two, the case is this poem is written out of love you are loved and so she is. kushanton

    Awwwww....I can relate to this one too! I also feel this same pain, a mother of two teenage boys! She knows you love her!

    I like this poem it is very sweet and nice. I like the fact that it is dedicated to her daughter something she can point to and say mommy loves me.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
