All Comments on 'Ascending Angel'

Just a moment while I wipe my eyes;

This is truly an excellent piece

Displaying much more than a Mother's love for

Her sleeping babes;

Hints of her condition are discretely mentioned

Serving only to highlight her strong will and

Love of life.

This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 34,000 poems.

One of the most moving tender renderings I have ever read on Lit. There is that poignant sweetness that no words can ever quite describe.

This one is powerful! Not many I've read cause me to run for the tissues. This one did it! EM

Two tissue poems today! It's a bit much. If this doesn't move you, you must already be dead! Only a Mom can know so much love.CP

Hard to say there's only one emotion here - it's not just sad, even if tissues are used. Though she might soon be gone, she'll be a wonderful mother right to the end. :-) Terrie

Somehow I knew what was coming and still I shed a tear. You don't have to be a mother to know what's right and what to do.
