lunch notes

 i save your notes, mom.

i tuck them in my pencil box 

and when ever i am feeling down, 

i open my box and pull out your note. 

it says:

"dear olive, i hope you have a wonderful day, 

i miss you while you're gone. 

i can't wait to hear about your day when 

you come home. 

love, mom."

it makes me feel warm inside, mom.

litte do i know, the impact even a little 

tiny letter will have on my children. 

i shall keep pursuing their hearts.
