With all my heart, I dedicate my poetry to my beloved mother, Mrs. Bertha Maxie Angulo. I will be eternally thankful to her for having been such a wonderful and loving mother to me. Ever since God called her to be with Him in heaven, writing poetry has served as therapy for me. To honor my mother's memory, I have written additional poetry, which will be featured in eight different national and world wide anthology publications. Most of my poetry has been published in our local newspaper, NOGALES INTERNATIONAL.

A Dying Rose Mother, since you left this world my life has not been the same like a dying rose that has not felt sun nor rain My heart longs for healing for sadness seems to be winning Like a dying rose happiness has become a stranger to my soul Like a dying rose I await to see what the future holds Mother, whether I survive or not I will always love you a lot Life is precious like a rose facing life tomorrow will be difficult I suppose Mother, could my life be like a dying rose?

To Heal A Broken Heart To heal a broken heart Trust in God, trust in yourself look for the beauty that lies within for each new day, a new life you can begin To keep a happy heart never lose your faith and hope and never lose sight of who you are To heal a broken heart, look for God for HE is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE Whenever you feel that happiness has left you and that sorrow has found you listen to the laughing of children playing and listen to the singing of beautiful birds and know that God has heard your prayers A gentle breeze, a warm hug, a gentle touch can make all the difference To heal a broken heart always remember that God loves us all very much.

Unforgettable Love My mother is the unforgettable love of my life her kindness, her strength, her smile shall serve me as a reminder of how unique and special my mother was With her arms around me I always felt safe, comforted and greatly loved I feel that she is watching over me from high above God knows how much my mother and I loved each other and HE will eternally bless our unforgettable love.
