Mother's Day Poetry Reading

Joshua's 5th grade class held a special Mother's Day Poetry Reading the Friday before Mother's Day. When I arrived at his classroom, Joshua escorted me to my seat and then got a plate of refreshments (a cupcake, cookie and chocolates) and a drink. Then the children each took a turn reading a poem they had written about their mom. They made a card with an embroidered picture on the front (mine was a bird) during part of their study of India and then put the poem inside.

Here is the poem Joshua wrote for me:

Your personality and beauty

Makes people

Want to be with you,

Including me.

Your elegant dark hair

Sparkles in the sunlight,

As the sun's rays

Shine.

The sound of you humming

On a warm summer day,

Makes me think of

Angels singing from above.

As I look

Into your dark brown eyes,

I sense the warmth

That only you provide.
