Nearest and Dearest

Maddie's Writing Assignment  09/2011

I love you the yellowest Mom

I love you like the morning sun through the window
and
like the butterfly fluttering by
and
a sunflower in the garden.

I love my mom like the yellow strip in the rainbow
and like the yellow stars.

I love you like the tip of a highlighter and
the inside of a lemon
and
like the moon setting in the morning sky
and
like Dad's GT shirt.

I love my mom like a starfish,
a big smiley face,
a kite in the sky
and your name on a nursing book.

I love my mom because she helps me with everything.
