Happy Mother's Day from Casey May 2007
My nanny is a fire, keeping the family warm
She is a clock, keeping track of time
She is a book, always having something to say
She is an ocean, casting bad times away
She is a frame, hugging her loved ones
My nanny is silk, soft in the heart
She is a smile, and makes me a smile too
She is a hair-band, keeping things in place
She is a shelf, carrying me around
She is a brush, smoothing out hard times
My nanny is a safe, locking out the past
She is grass, soft and free
She is air, making life float by
She is a pool, splashing with fun
She is a friend, always there for me
Happy Mother's Day from Jeremy May 2007
My Mother is a dozen sweet roses
She is sweet honey
She is a chilly night in spring
She is a sun rising in the sky
She is a glowing moon in the night
My mother is a colorful rainbow
She is a bird in the trees
She is a cloud
She is a strawberry in the bush
She is a great vacation
My mother is a bird soaring through the sky
She is a million apples in the tree
She is a book waiting to be read
She is a sweet bundle of blueberries
She is the biggest bundle of joy
Happy Mother's Day from Nicole May 2007
My mother is BFG (Big Friendly Giant)
She is a Disney vacation
She is a walk in the park
She is a boo-boo all better
She is a math problem, hard to figure out
My mother is a cloud, white and fluffy
She is a cookbook
She is a bowl of mashed potatoes
She is a computer and T.V. all together
She is a music class, loud and fun
My mother is a pizza stick
She is a girl, little, waiting to play
She is a birthday party
She is mom
She is special to me
Happy Mother's Day from Corey May 2007
My mother is the first snowfall of the winter
She is a sunset
She is the first day of summer
She is a best friend
She is the last day of school
My mother is a large plate of homemade chicken cutlets
She is a funny book
She is a day off
She is a birthday party
She is a comfortable sweater
My mother is a puppy dog
She is a football game
She is a Bon Jovi CD
She is a shooting star
She is a chocolate cake
Happy Mother's Day from Kelli May 2007
My mother is a heart of love
She is a cookbook of soups, vegetables, and meats
She is a wind in the trees
She is a snake slithering in the forest
She is New York City walking in Pennsylvania
My mother is a ride that never ends
She is book that is always being retold
She is a joke book that has untold jokes
She is a poem with great rhymes
She is a flower that always blooms
My mother is a shirt the never wears out
She is a garden that always has fruits and vegetables
