From Grandma

As your mommy reads these lines to you Take in every single word For knowledge is our only tool To be part of this big world And as you learn to read yourself You’ll see how much we cared For you to educate yourself To succeed and not be scared Mommy and I feel That education is the way That you must, with, always deal And satisfaction will appear at the end of every day So go on and become yourself And don’t allow anyone to bring you down Because with education you will have A wealth of knowledge, mind and sound My love for you will always be And there for you I will be too But with literacy you can travel And monumental things you’ll see With all my love and tenderness This poem is from me to you And it will bring togetherness Between you and mommy and me too By: Nena Enriquez
