My angel is a woman who walks upon the earth, she shows me my potential and all that I am worth. When I am sick she heals me and makes me feel all-better, and makes sure that in times of need that we are all together.

When we get into all kinds of fusses in our life, my angel comes out strong as a mother, Maga and wife. My angel has raised me to be good and kind, and makes sure that I have a strong and intelligent mind, my angel is my guardian, my teacher and my friend, but most of all my mother and that shall never end. – Taken from poem by Breanna Greathouse
