Student Poem of the Month — June 2007
 

 
Mama   © by   Mackenzie Taylor

I can picture you, Mama,
floating through the midnight clear.
I can picture you
singing the happy tunes from a
lighted candle,
From the sun up above, from the
flowers down below.
I get on my swing to swing
to the highest mountain.
From miles away,
from thousands of moons away,
I can picture millions of you.
