      Mom, why do I have to go to bed,

      When there are many more poems yet to be read!

      Why couldn’t I stay up a little while more,

      But I guess my fingers would get sore!

      So now as I shut off the light,

      All I have to say is Good Night!

      DEDICATED TO MY MAGICAL MOTHER

      There is a special Magic in all of us,

      This is something we have to discuss.

      Every magic is different in its own way,

      Most of them don’t always obey

      But the one thing that is always above,

      Is the most beautiful of all, and that is LOVE

      23791.jpg

      Anger is like a stormy sea,

      That can cover you and me.

      Happiness is like the clouds above,

      That floats with kindness and love.

      Friendship is something hard to tell

      But it’s something that makes you feel so well.

      23797.jpg

      MY PARENTS WITH LOVE

      When the wind blows,

      And it really snows.

      And she sips hot apple cider,

      With her husband beside her,

      She leans over and gives him a kiss,

      He smiles and blushes, what a wonderful bliss.

      And over in the far corner sits me,

      Watching over Peter and Lucie.

      23802.jpg

      I LOVE YOU MOM

      If you knew how much I loved you

      You’d love me even more.

      And if love were a house

      I bet you’d never shut my door.

      And even if you get angry at me

      I know you’ll love me just the same

      And I know deep inside you

      The anger never came.

      And now I have one more thing to say

      Before this poem ends

      That I hope forever more

      We’ll be more than just Best Friends.
