My Beloved Mum Told Me.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

My Beloved Mum Told Me….
A true story retold....

my mother called me and
told me surprisingly
but she was also very happy,
I could hear that from
the way she raised her voice softly

Sylvie, last night I had the best dream
I saw two very large angels
sitting at the foot of my bed,
there was so much light in my bedroom,
so much light
I saw them clearly
with long beautiful wings...
The entered the room in a quiet

I was very happy to hear this
and told her
that she will have a long life
in God's love

That night I was very impressed
with her magnificent dream
she saw a lot of light
in her dream that night
I was very happy

the next morning
my heart started singing
I called my loyal friend Meike
and told her about
my mother's impressive dream

she said nothing for a long pause,
then she went on with a very deep sigh
Syl, please don't ask me why,
but your dear mother
will soon see the Lord...

but... but there were two angels
who came to her in such a beautiful light...

Sylvie, you have told me about her beautiful dream of those two angels,
yes she will see the Lord
very soon....

Meike is a person with a strong
and deep faith in God
I admire her unshakable faith

She was right indeed
about my mother's dream that night

deeply unconsciously
I thought my dear mother will live longer
indeed she still lives, closest to God
in a world of much much light
my beloved Mum saw that brightest light
that night....
