Susan de Mont
An angel with a heart
A saint with a halo of glory
A mighty woman who walked this earth
She was made of love
Love for those in need
What we take for granted
Would make life worthwhile for other
Ethnic minorities, black women, Asian women or otherwise
Bear the brunt of hard life styles
They have babies they cannot feed
They run from uniformed men….soldiers with guns
They hide from planes that drop their bombs
They bury their little ones, their men
When they no longer breath
This is Hell….. hmmm…. Where is Heaven?
A little water would save so many lives
A need for basics – toothbrush, toothpaste, soap
Sanitary products would go a long way
A shower, some food, a place to sleep
A doctor, a nurse, some medical care
Protection by the state
None of these are available
When you are on the move.
The angel saw and noted these
But she was called to be with the King
We must not forget the work that she did
The kindness she showed, driven by love
The Legacy Fund in place, a fitting tribute
She will be happy as she looks down from above
