MY GUARDIAN ANGEL FOUND ME IN PRISON. by Carrie Neighbors

Laying down my head in total despair,
No hope and total emptiness, thinking why should I care?
Then in the darkest dark of the night,
a silhouette appeared surrounded by light,

Reaching across me I felt a feather soft touch
and the voice of an angel whisper "you'r loved so much".
As my eyes adjusted I saw wings that were tattered,
her hair a bit messy, her hands a bit battered.

She said "when you were a baby, in your mothers arms,
she prayed you an angel to keep you from harms.
That prayer was answered, when God sent me,
and that has been no easy job as you can plainly see!

She bowed her head as a tear fell from her eye,
I felt such shame to see my angel cry!
She told me of friends she had sent my way,
How she delighted in my joy and listened to me pray.

Then anger and violence took over my days,
yet still she held on in all of her ways.
She would never give up even though she grew tired,
Tho a time or two she admitted she wished she be fired!

Then I realized she was showing me my worth,
she said "you been loved since the day of your birth!"
"Never give up, your life is worth living!
It is not always taking, sometimes it's giving!"

Joy filled my heart like never before,
Till I awoke to the clanking of my prison cell door.
Just a dream I thought, as a tear fell from my eye,
Then I felt a soft touch as my angel flew by!

TOMORROW WHEN I GO TO PRISON ALONE. Poem by Carrie Neighbors

TOMORROW WHEN I GO TO PRISON ALONE. A poem by Carrie Neighbors

When your tomorrow starts without me
and I am not there to see,
That the sun shall rise, and find your eyes
are filled with tears for me.

I hated how you cried, the pain you felt that day
As you watched me stand before the judge, then slowly led away.
As I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
Shackled and chained like an animal, all I could say was "WHY?"

I had so much more to share with you, so much yet to do,
It seemed so impossible, that I was leaving you!
I thought of all our yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had!

If I could take back yesterday, if only for a while,
I'd take away, my foolish way, and work to make you smile!
But then I fully realized, that just could not be,
For my foolish follies have truly caused this reality!

When I thought of all my worldly things, I'd surely miss tomorrow,
My thoughts of you, and me not there is what filled my heart with sorrow!

Passing through those prison gates, so awfully far from home
I truly felt that painful sting of being all alone!
Someday I will leave prison, at long last be set free,
I pray on that day, you will still be waiting for me.
But when tomorrow starts without me, remember as you tarry
That prison life is full of strife when there ain't no commissary!
