First Day of School
A hand to hold, so warm and true,
With gentle smile, she led me through,
The classroom doors, a world so new,
Her love, a light that always grew.
In timid steps, I found my place,
Her tender voice, a soothing grace,
She watched me with a patient face,
Her heart, my safe and cherished space.
Years may pass and days may fly,
Yet memories of her never die,
That first goodbye, a teary eye,
Her comfort, still, my lullaby.

Last Family Vacation
We packed the car,
laughter spilling over,
Mom's smile, a quiet anchor.
The road stretched ahead,
like a promise of endless days.
Mountains rose,
tall and ancient,
Mom pointed out every peak.
We hiked trails,
her steps steady,
a map in her hands,
guiding us through unknown paths.
At night, under stars,
we shared stories by the fire.
Mom's voice, calm and steady,
each word a bridge to our past.
We were wrapped in blankets,
the cool night air around us,
her warmth beside us.
On the last day,
the ocean spread before us,
Mom's eyes reflected the waves.
We played in the sand,
built castles,
as if time could stand still.
But it moved, as it always does,
leaving us with these pieces,
these moments we hold.
