These all seem rather sentimental, don’t they? Well, you’re all very special people. So here are a few declarations of admiration for sorority sisters, friends of my actual sister, Sunday school teachers, dashing pen pals and babysitters. My humble thanks for subscribing!
Shannon C.
Danced in crimson lips
Fab friend, mom, leader and wife
Did the worm in white
Julie B.P.
You have the best hair
Middle school slumber parties
Spun amber in waves
Kathy D.
When I was a kid
You helped me to feel valued
Your smile is God’s smile
Hugo C.
What a pleasant twist
Not meeting you that spring night
Instead, epistles
Mike H.
When my sons grow up
I’ll be thrilled if they’re like you
Witty, kind and true
Martha M.
Never has a kid
Smiled as instantly as when
You came to the door
Way to use the word “epistle”!
Also, your poem to Martha brings a tear to my eye
That is one of the best compliments (and definitely the best haiku) that I have ever received. Thanks so much, Emily!
