A poem from Natalie

Natalie brought me this the other day. It wasn't an assignment for school. She just wrote it because she wanted to. Sometimes it's great to be a Mom.

Mom
A Poem Written Especially For You
By: Natalie

A mother isn't someone who just cleans up after you, but is much, much more.
She is the person you hug when you come home after school.
The person whose voice you hear whispering in your head while falling asleep.
The sun that ends the rainstorms.
The first glimpse of color in the springtime.
A mother is all that, but even more.

She is the water providing for your heart and needs.
The colorful leaves that fall in the autumn breeze.
The moon that gives forth light to those around her.
The twinkling starts that are gazed upon.
The flower sprouting beautifully although surrounded by darkness.
A mother is all that, but even more.

A mother is the feeling of love that helps me to grow and learn,
preparing me to spread my wings when it is time and fly for my dreams.
