Mother’s Day Poem

Here’s a sweet poem you could also print out and have kids tape or glue to the back side of the “Thankful for You” activity sheet.

My mother is so special,
she means so much to me.
She’s patient, understanding,
and as gentle as can be.
She’s lots of fun to be with
And she’s always there for me.
That’s why she’s a great example
of J-E-S-U-S to me.
