Special Person's Day

Today was Special Person’s Day At pre-school, for the 3’s. One guest per child and I was picked, An honor I did seize. Each child announced his person Then we hunted for their names On a placemat on the table Where we sat and made some frames. There was fruit to eat and cookies Which the children helped to bake And some marigolds in plastic cups For all of us to take. Then a teacher took our pictures So the frames will get some use And the kids performed a song and dance To shake their sillies loose. Though I’m one of several people Henry loves who love him back, I am thrilled that he decided To select me from the pack.

A distinction indeed, Ilene, and one you so obviously deserved. They (all) are so worthy of our deepest affection and our tenderest care and support. And your poem is, as always, very effective in communicating to us your human kindness and your grace. Thank you.

awww Ilene, this is adorable and I felt the love in your heart. My grandson is two and when I visit his preschool I melt when he runs up to me. I only see him every few months, so having them love you that way is surely a treat. Thanks for the smiles.
