A Poem From My Daughter<\/h3>\n
\"\"
Pip and I, Bora Bora, May 2017.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My youngest daughter, Pippi, presented me with this poem the other day. She wrote it during her much-loved, quiet, alone time during the day. She is usually very creative during these relaxing solo times in her room. I have to share it because it took me by surprise ( I almost never receive love poems) and also because I believe love poems make the greatest gifts!<\/p>\n

I feel honoured and humbled that my daughter views me in these ways but more importantly, I am thrilled because I know that the qualities she believes that I possess, are the same qualities that she recognizes in herself \t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\n

You might notice that Pippi has used the five senses to organize the poem. Every since Pippi was born, on road trips we play a game where we pick a colour and say how the colour is expressed in all five sense. For example: if you could hear pink, what would it sound like? How does pink taste? Feel? Smell? What does it look like (aside from its colour)–it’s shape? This road-trip game seems to have inspired her writing!<\/p>\n

I’ve typed out the poem below as the picture is difficult to read.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you see a woman who feels strongly for all rights and will stand up tall to spread the message of equality, while being a great leader and a role model to her kids, <\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s my mom<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you hear the sound of a woman with great confidence and skill, who’s is creative at the same time? <\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s my mom<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you smell sweets that came from a woman who is determined, loving and beautiful on the outside and in, That’s my mom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you feel a soft, fuzzy carpet that has been bought by a woman who is a hard working mother of three, <\/strong><\/p>\n

but still has time to be adventurous, <\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s my mom<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you taste a mouth watering brownie that has been baked up by a woman who enjoys life <\/strong><\/p>\n

and supports her kids’ ideas and beliefs, <\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s my mom<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mom is amazing!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
