Dear Katie,
In the season of cheer,
I wish you a merry Christmas,
And that the clouds all clear.
Your mother is a wonderful woman,
And full of hope and love.
She's always there to help you along,
Like a beautiful white dove.
So as I end this little letter,
I ask you to be strong.
If you ever feel down,
Just sing a little song.

For Katie, a young girl with an illness and also a person who has an amazing mother.

I have read and applauded your poem. It is so beautiful to me. Everytime I go to to comment on any of the poems, I start to cry. I sat in the back yard with Katie yesterday on the glider swing. I have five different wind chimes and we sat out there after filling up the bird feeders and changing the bird bath. The wind was strong but not cold (we are in southern TX).
I sat there with her and listened to the wind moving the chimes to whatever music it wanted to play, and listed the things I was grateful for. I sat looking at my backyard, knowing this was my last Christmas here in Texas. My husband is retiring in less than six months. He has been in the air force for 20 years. I was inspired looking out my backyard with Katie at my side, the birds singing, thanking us for the fresh food and bath, and the wind singing a special song.
With that said, I write this little bit of insight for all of you. May you all have a blessed holiday.

She most certainly does have an amazing mother Michelle. I was so happy to see you write something for the contest. You know, you are actually younger than Katie. She too is a teenager. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this and to reach out to a special friend and a very well liked and respected poet here on AP. You too are a wonderful gift Michelle! Bless you sweetie! Good luck in the contest!
