Odes

An Ode to My Mom

My mom, the one who nourished me when I was young.
The one who held me when I cried and who wiped my tears.
The one who tucked me in when I was tired
and read me to sleep when the nights were long.
The one who cut her golden-brown locks of hair
so I would not hide in them when I was shy.
She who gave me my life when I was lifeless
and the one who loves me most of all.

-- Theana, 7th grade

Ode to Sleep

Happiness you give,
you give my eyes a new life,
you give my limbs a massage,
when I am with you I think of all things
no one has known,
that are even new to me.
You let me think up my life, my future,
you help me so much.
I owe you so much for your ideas,
your time.
Yes, you renew my life with the energy you give,
you are my other world,
my best world, my favorite world.

-- Caterine, 6th grade
