My Mom Loved My Poem!
Last Friday I had doubts that we would ever get any poetry written in time for Mother’s Day, but once again my students’ hard work prevailed and most of them took home some beautiful words, a description of their mom in poetic form on colorful paper with foam letters at the top. My favorite comment from a student was that the poem he gave his mom ALMOST made her cry. I know that I would have been a blubbering mess if my son had handed me a poem. Actually, I did shed a few tears on Mother’s Day. My son Alex gave me a photograph that was matted and signed on the back with the kindest, sweetest words I have ever read. Gosh, the best gifts are gifts from the heart.
