How great you are!

Remember when you used to Sing a lullaby to me?




That was my happiest time.

I felt so comfortable that I fell asleep on your chest.





From time to time,

I search for the lullaby in my heart and hear the lullaby over and over.



How happy I was!

Remember my 11th birthday?
You had a party for me
even if you were sick.
Spaggetti, clam soup, chocolate cake…..
The food you made for me will
remain in my memories forever,
and I will think of your devoted love.
How lucky I was!

Remember when I was sick?
I had to be in the hospital for
six months because of a stomachache.
You said, “I wish I were you,
so that I could be in pain
instead of you.”
You proved that a mother’s love
is the greatest in the world.
How great you are!

I want to share about my mom's love. Also, I really want to say thank you to my mom. That is why I wrote a poem about my mom. I love you mom!
