My Mother

I love my mom,
She shines like a beautiful sun.
...

How do I thee?
Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth

I saw a bush outside that has blueberries.
I was walking on a big path
kicking a little stone.
I saw my friends together on the path.
...

...

...

It was morning.
The sun is going up.
The loving birds are signing
tweet, tweet, tweet.

It was morning.
The sun was going up.
The lovely birds were singing
tweet, tweet, tweet.
...

I was sitting on the porch.
It was raining.
The clouds were gray and it was really raining.
It was cold.
...

I was being lazy on the couch
watching TV.
I got up and then was lucky
when I went outside.
...

...

I was watching the news
about children having a war.
When the children stopped fighting
They had peace and quiet.
...

There are seagulls outside flying,
looking for food to eat.
There is a warm breeze making it nice
to go in the water and swim
