Mother's Day
By Erin Horner 		  
1     When I was little, I used to think that a magic fairy lived at my house. Every morning when I woke up, there was breakfast waiting for me! When I opened my drawers they were always full of clean, folded clothes. When I left for school, my room was a pig sty. But by the time I got home, it was clean and my bed was made! Did a magic fairy live at my house? No. But my marvelous mother did!
 
2     Mothers are very special people. They work hard to take care of their families. Many moms cook meals, clean the house, and drive their children all over town from one event to the next. Other moms get up early and go to work every morning. Then, after a long day they come home and still lovingly care for their families. Mothers are very special indeed.
