Happy Mother’s Day!
Mom helps me staff TeachKind’s humane education booth at a conference for educators.
Today is the day we celebrate our mothers. They take care of us, protect us, raise us, love us, correct us, guide us, and help us in so many ways. Yay, for moms! 
My mom is an especially wonderful mom. So, mom, here is a poem for you!
“Happy Mother’s Day” Means More
“Happy Mother’s Day” means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.
Happy Mother’s Day mom!
With Lots of Love,
Freeman
