The first is a short poem about how Emily loves her teachers. During the school year, her literature class was giv... Emily The saddest thing It's hard to say Is seeing you on Your last day. I take it for granted, Though I see you a lot, Just how much you do And your kind thought. You helped me understand Things I couldn't before. I can't bear to watch you Walk out of that door. Though I'll miss you, I know indeed You'll do great out there Planting new seeds. "What seeds", you are asking "Why can't I see?" But you have already Planted one in me. It will grow and grow, As I learn more and more. Each day I'll remember What you taught me before. I'm happy for you To plant more seeds. I know they will grow Without any weeds. There won't be weeds. Yes, of that I am sure. For you have touched them. Now they are pure. The saddest thing, It's hard to say, Is seeing you on Your last day. A Mother’s Day Poem by: Emily Mom, I love you. That is true. All the way To infinity, too. Now that I’m older And wiser, too, I realize just How much you do. Most of the time I don’t look to see How many things You do for me. For this I am sorry. Next time I’ll try. You are wonderful, And I’m glad you’re mine. (Emily really can put out what she feels in a love poem, even at age twelve. I hope you see this in time for your next Mother's Day because it is probably how your child feels about you, whether spoken, written or acted.) A Father's Day Poem By: Emily This is for you, Dear Daddy of mine To let you know I think you're devine. A bunch of years Have flown by real fast But do not worry, I'll always keep our past. It'll travel with me Wherever I go. I'll remember the times we've had So long ago. Please don't be sad, Dear Daddy of mine For there are more to come, You will find. I'll always remember Those things we did Like snowmobiling (When Mommy was hid). Riding our bikes, Hitting golf balls, Getting up on skis, Without a fall. Driving the golf cart, Nicktoons Racing, Jumping on the trampoline, And later your back aching. No matter where we go Or what we do, In my heart always There's a place for you. I hope this card helped You to see Just how much I love you, Daddy! (More telling than the exact words are the eyes of the daughter as she watches her father read the personally prepared poem. I feel that all children can write down their feelings. Some may not be able to put in poem format, but I see them as poems anyway as they are from the heart. This may be the best way for them to express themselves. When you see some spare time for your child coming up, why not give some space, and provide pencil and paper. Ask your child to write about how he or she feels about birds, or snow, or the blue sky, or you, or whatever. My guess is that you will be surprised!)
