Mother's Day Gift

by Guy Belleranti

I didn’t know what to give my mom, 

 On Mother’s Day this year.

I made a list and checked it twice,

But nothing became clear.

My list included silly slime,

A box of shiny rocks,

Some awesome super hero masks,

And glow-in-the-dark socks.

I asked my sister what she’d choose.

She rolled her eyes and said,

"You only listed things you like.

Please think of Mom, instead.” 

I blinked, I frowned, and then I knew.

I made my Mom some art.

I put a lot of love in it,

And gave it from my heart!
