MODEL READING BY THE TEACHER
I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.I am a mother now, and so I knowHardwork is mixed together with the fun;You learned that when you raised me long ago.I think of all the things you gave to me:Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,your heart, your mind, your love energy and soul–
All these you spent on me throughout the years. You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security,And then you did the hardest thing of all:You let me separate and set me free.Every day, I try my best to be A mother like the mom you were to me
By F.Joanna
