Halos and Golden Wings
Poems By Lynn Barany


They say they are of the human race
But I don't believe that's so,
They appear to be like the rest of us
Busy people on the go.

Their job is caring for the terminally ill
And my Mom was in their care,
Love surrounded my Mother's room
Even when they were not there.

I can't find the words to thank them
For the care they gave to Mom
They encouraged her from her death bed
And made her laugh, and have some fun.

With the special hugs they gave her
Mom is home again once more,
But seems a little saddened
To leave her friends at the Hospice door.

Yes, they say they are of the human race
But to my faith I cling,
One day I passed a "PRIVATE" room,
and decided to peek in
And what I saw were Halos,
and lots of Golden Wings ...







Hi,
Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poet's home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large.

My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter.

While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4

I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany.

Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com

Regards,
Lynn
