Mother's Day - Father's Day

Mothers' Day

Poems to listen to.......or to change

When I look up

In mom's eyes

I see a pond in my mind.

All around, trees soar

And all in the middle

There is a small dark island.

At the bottom of this still water

What rare fish goes swimming?

What rare fish goes singing?

A FAIRY

Ah! she's a fairy

Very young still,

Ah! she's a fairy

Of moon capped.

In her green dress

A golden butterfly

In her green dress,

Barely ajar.

She goes light,

To the sound of the oboe,

She goes light

Like a shepherdess.

                     The enchanted hour

How is the word MOM spelled?

To tell you that I love you

I took two M cream

With two chocolate A's

Plus a little N in nougat

MOM

My mouth is full!

But I have to learn

To my greedy stomach

How is the word MOM spelled?

I bring you mom

A small field flower

It's the surprise

That I promised

A daisy

very small

I bring you mom

A small field flower

It's not a rose

It's not important

A daisy

very small

I bring you mom

A small field flower

The arms of a mother

The arms of a mother

Are like a little bed,

A bed never unmade,

Who smells good kisses.

What can be used

Everything can wear out

but I know something that can never wear out.

It's mom's cheek

who receives kisses from her child.

My mother

My mother whom I love very much

Gave me everything.

I will love this good mother

My whole life.

She took care of me when I was little,

They told me.

She rocked my bunk,

white and clean,

Taught me to walk step by step

Holding my arm.

To say a word, then to say everything,

Even to smile.

If I cry, she comforts me

With one word,

And quickly his charming kiss

Makes me happy.

I want to make my mother happy

My whole life

Work hard and love it hard

Until death.

Jean Aicart

The wonder

My life is an enchantment

When I fall asleep, when I wake up,

Or when I play, anytime,

A sweet fairy watches over me

And surround me with charming care.

This marvel is my Mum.

For Mom

Little bird

At the flap,

Come perch on my finger

What I tell you,

At the flap,

A big secret, just for you.

The prettiest fairy on earth,

That's my mom,

My mom

to me.

Little bird,

At the shutter,

Give him that kiss for me.

          _cc781905-5cde-3194 Lucienne GOMOT

Little mom of happiness

When I'm on your knees

Hiding close to your heart

It's warm, and sweeter

That at the bottom of a nest of happiness

And when on your knees

I listen to your heart beat

I hear my mum, all soft,

Sweetly sing happiness.

Mother

I have a picture of you

Who lives only in my heart.

There your features are so pure

That you are ageless.

There you can talk to me

without moving your lips.

you can look at me

Without opening the eyelids.

And when misfortune

waiting for me on the way,

I know it from your heart

Which beats against mine.

Happy Birthday Mom.

Whether we're yellow, whether we're black, whether we're white

          On n'a qu 'a mother.

Whether we are stupid, whether we are intelligent,

          On n'a qu 'a mother.

Whether one is rich, whether one is peasant,

          On n'a qu 'a mother.

Whether we are small, whether we are big,

          On n'a qu 'a mother.

Whether we're yellow, whether we're black, whether we're white

         _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ We love our mom.

                                   Frederic Janssen

For Mom

I picked three wildflowers

But the prettiest that I love so much

But the prettiest is for mom

I found three white pebbles

But the prettiest that I love so much

But the prettiest is for mom

I also have three beautiful ribbons

But the prettiest that I love so much

But the prettiest is for mom

I only have a little child's heart

But my little heart that loves her so much

But my little heart, it's for mom!

Fathers Day

For a child who had lost her dad, I proposed this poem after consultation with the mother

my forever daddy

On this Father's Day,

Kissing you very hard, I hope

To be able to tell you again my love

Today Tomorrow

my darling daddy

My darling daddy, I love you

Big, big like an elephant

And when sometimes I don't love you

It's no bigger than a pea

My darling daddy, I love you

Round, round like the sun

And when sometimes I don't love you

it's cold, it doesn't last.

Little song for the youngest

Fathers Day

little daddy

Today is your party

Mama said so

When you weren't there

Here are flowers to crown your head

And a bouquet to put on your heart

Little daddy, little daddy....

Two big kisses on your cheeks,

Then another one in your neck

And here I am in your arms

But one day, the dads were put to the test.....

A special day was organized to make folded paper airplanes..... (see Theme: air)
