A Letter to My Children Dear Beloved Kiddies, Even if both of you kiddies can’t remember

Ashley Cintron

the bright light and that first loud cry, I can close my eyes and remember it. After that, my heart has belonged to both of you and will always belong. The word love is short compared to the feeling that I have for you. Love, Mom.

A Mother’s Day Poem

Samantha Rosencrans

Mom once said, “Homemade gifts are better than money”; ever since, that’s all I gift. Her smile is more precious than money, seeing her makes my mind drift. She prefers thoughtfulness over flowers: flowers die, gestures stay forever.

Mom gave me all her hours, For that, I’ll love her forever.
