My Mom
by Chloe (age 9)

You are a beautiful star up in the sky watching over me.
You wonder why I can't stay young forever.
You hear what is in your heart and never forget your dreams.
You see me trying new things and never say it's wrong.
You want me to have fun in my life and I am.

You are a beautiful star up in the sky watching me.
You pretend that I am always there even when I am gone.
You feel that you are not the best sometimes, and you are.
You touch the stars with your success.
You worry sometimes if you are doing the best for me, and
you are my soul mate.
You cry when you have done something wrong, and I cry with you.

You are a beautiful star up there in the sky watching me.
You understand me and my thoughts even if I don't tell you
at that moment.
You say that our hearts are always connected when I am away.
You dream that we are walking down a road holding hands.
You try to be the best mom, but just be yourself.
You hope that I am living my life the best I can and I am.

You are a beautiful star up there in the sky watching me.
