Today was Mother's Day. Of course you all already knew that. So Shlomo, did you take your wife out to eat? What special thing did you do for her? Well, since she's busy writing a major paper for one of her classes we really didn't do anything. I bought her a card and a potted plant and once again I wrote a little poem. This is no big deal. I have no aspirations to be recognized as a great modern poet. Most of the stuff I write is quite mediocre, in my opinion, but it works according to my intents and purposes. Although I don't think my work is worthy of applause and acclaim, it is mine and I offer it as a gift of my self expression.

Mother's Day 2005
To my one special friend who is like none other,
You are more than a wife you are also a mother.
The children you bore and the life that we share
Makes you more than a partner just by being there.
I know from experience that the love in our hearts
Speaks of something much greater than the sum of its parts.
You are surely a friend, a wife and a lover,
But today I celebrate your role as a mother.

I'm serious, your poems are so cute. They might not be Robert Frost or anything, but they would look great on a sweet Halmark card. Honestly.

Hey Mandy,
Thanks for your continual support. I'm glad that you like my poems. I have written quite a few more like these over the years. Penninah has saved nearly all of them in a keepsake box somewhere. Maybe I'll write one for you one of these days.

Shlomo, I would cry if you wrote me a poem.

Hmmm, I think you better get a box of tissues then.

Just wanted to let you know that I miss talking to you Shlomo!
I hope all is well! 
I will be a high school graduate as of Sunday! 
God bless you!

hey shlo
that particular survey I snagged off of Sarah's xanga, I'm not sure who wrote it but I've seen it floating around more than one other xanga last week.
