Play dates at the beach, fresh rhubarb pies, trips to Hogwarts and warm hugs — this Mother's Day, the second and third grade students in Katy Maciel and Mariah MacGregor’s class at the Chilmark School share poems composed for their moms. 

 

My mom is the best because she believes in me.

She likes to play with me in my bamboo forest.

She goes to the beach with me.

She gets me nice clothes.

She wears nice clothes and that is why she is beautiful!

My mom is the best because she loves me! xoxo

Moms are sweet and kind but usually not funny.

My mom is kinda funny.

And that’s good.

My mom plays catch with me when my dad is working but she barely ever catches the ball.

And that’s good.

My mom sometimes makes good food and sometimes makes bad food.

And that’s good.

My mom takes me to the beach.

My mom never picks me up at the bus stop because she is taking orders from the Ocean View.

My favorite is their french fries!

She buys me stuff, she bought me a gold and silver crucifix at midnight.

I feel embarrassed but I say “that’s my mom” in my head!

Thank you for letting us go to Universal Studios.

It was the best day of my life because we went to Hogwarts and you were laughing.

When you make dinosaur nuggets it makes me smile.

When I look at you through the window at the YMCA you smile.

_Henry

 

You let me and Sam play Lego Star Wars X-Box.

When we’re alone we walk the beach finding sea-glass and sea-china.

You take us to the YMCA to swim together and go down the slide.

Our favorite pizza place is Flatbreads and you always get gluten free!

You’re the best mom!

My mom is cozy.

Others are noisy.

She makes really good pies.

She loves to bake new food.

She is very funny.

She makes me laugh.

When I get up on Saturdays, I always get in bed with her.
