PEGGY'S ANGELS EVERYWHERE POETRY

Here is a poem dedicated to all "Mothers"

" When God Created Mothers... "

When the good Lord was creating mothers He was into
His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said, "You're
Doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order?"
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;
Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable;
Run on black coffee and left overs;
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;
A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a
disappointed love affair;
And six pairs of hands;
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of
hands...no way."
"It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the
Lord. "It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That's on a standard model?" asked the angel.
The lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors
When she asks, "What are you kids doing in there?" when she already
Knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't
But what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can
look at a child when he goofs up and say, "I Understand and I Love You"
without so much as uttering a word."
"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve gently, "Come to bed. Tomorrow..."
"I can't," said the Lord, "I'm so close to creating
something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when
she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...
and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly.
"It's too soft," she sighed.
"But tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine
what this mother can do or endure."
"Can it think?"
"Not only think, but it can reason and compromise,"
said the Creator.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the
Cheek. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You, You were trying to
Put too much into this model."
"It's not a leak," said the Lord, "it's a tear."
"What's it for?"
"It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness
and pride."
"You are a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there."

Erma Bombeck

I came across this when I was Spring Cleaning, I had saved this years ago.
Sad to know that Erma is gone, but she left many good things for us to remember her by.

Angel's are everywhere and those who think not, remember this " The Least You Do Unto My Brother You Do Unto Me.""

What if someone came knocking at your door and they were hungry and needed clothing and you chased them away, could that have been an Angel testing your true goodness????
