This week I was so touched to receive a poem, two actually, that were written by Chloe for me.  I had no idea she had done this for me!  She has been working on a book of poetry for months now, but it is mostly about the changing of the seasons.  She also wrote a special poem for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding this past summer.  We (more like Chloe and Daddy) are working on a published book version of her collection of rhyming poems that she has completed.  It looks fantastic and I am excited to see it come together and then arrive in full color printed form!  This time though, she wrote two poems for me in honor of Mother’s Day.

Mommy

As a mother you have a one-track mind, to be firm but kind

As a teacher you like to be firm, so we grow up to be bookworms

As a maid you want the house to look nice so when cleaning you are very precise

What I am trying to say is….

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!

Mommy

I love you very much, one because you are soft to the touch

You are the best teacher a girl could get, because you were the one to teach me the alphabet

I love you also because, when I do something great you always applause

You are twenty-two years older and much bolder

You are so much smarter than me, I guarantee

Again, I am aiming to say…..

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!
