Poem for Mother's Day

Jonathan handed me a handmade card which said to read the following poem aloud to the family:

Thank You

Thank you for washing my clothes every day,

And cooking my meals without any pay.

Thank you for washing all of the dishes,

And tending to all of our many wishes.

Thank you for doing a good job with our school,

Even though sometimes I act like a fool.

Thank you for living through your many toils,

Like fixing burns and squeezing our boils.

So we'll double your salary in hopes that you'll stay,

And all of us wish you a very

Happy Mother's Day!

by Jonathan with a little help from Daddy and Rachel

Yes, I read it out loud. And yes, I cried. And yes, I will keep it forever.
