My Mother

My mother takes me to different places and laughs at all my silly faces. She runs me a nice warm bath and helps me with my math. My mother makes me healthy snacks to eat and sometimes let's me have a treat. She takes care of me when I'm hurt and cleans me up when I'm covered in dirt. My mother talks to me about all the dangers and reminds me not to talk to strangers. She tells me not to lie and wipes my tears when I cry. My mother always brushes my hair and teaches me how to share. She claps for me when I'm right and comforts me in the night. My mother is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and she is the best mother of all! by Ana Espinola Collins I wrote this poem for children years ago....I thought today was the perfect day to share it with everyone!
