(Psst, three poems this week, all centered around thankfulness. I normally don’t share so frequently, but in honor of a great holiday and a worthy heart posture, I hope you won’t mind.)
Have you ever read a poem for two voices? They’re boat loads of fun, like a reader’s theater. The lines that are written together are read together; the lines that are written separately are read separately. Capisce? Find someone to read this one with you and see if you can figure it out! Be sure to give a wink and a hug when you’re through. You’ll seeeee…
MOM: A Poem For Two Voices
by Sarah Steele
We’re thankful I’m thankful
For our mom
For my kids
For all the food For all the food
She makes
They eat
When she tucks
us in to help
us sleep
When they sleep
When she laughs
When they laugh
At our jokes At my jokes
When she hugs us
When they let me hug them
And tells us And tell them
“It’ll be all right.” “It’ll be all right.”
We’re thankful
That we can read
Together Together
That we can learn
Together Together
That we can
DANCE!
Together
*gasp* No one is
supposed to know
about that!
But most of all
*ahem*
Most of all
We’re thankful I’m thankful
She’s ours They’re mine
(Mostly) (Mostly)
