S.S.E. Student Offerings to the Divine Mother 2015
May 6th of each year is observed as Mother’s Day. For this occasion, our children submitted poems, drawings, and other creations for publication in Sai Sarathi. These following submissions on the theme of “mother” are from the Sai Spiritual Educational [SSE] classes of the Sai Centers in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the USA.
Mothers are for every one
The mother of a tree is a fruit,
Who gives the tree its roots.
Love is what all mothers convey
This is what, I’m trying to say.
The mother of the bear and the mother of the hare,
Really do love and care.
They are just as sweet, and hard to beat,
Don’t use them for meat.
The mother of the human, love the young
She watches them leap from rung to rung
She gives everyone her share of rice,
Isn’t that, oh so nice.
She teaches values to you and me
She helps us be a family
She teaches us that, “You can do”
And that is very true.
When you have a fever bug
She gives you a great big hug
Then you feel like you want to sway
And your fever runs away
We must keep them dear and near,
So we will never scream and fear.
The mothers are here and they’ve taken birth
Just for us, on this mother earth.

Dear Mom,
I like how you cook
I like how you tell me how to do stuff
There is only one of you
Your tacos are very good
You are energetic
You are really sweet
I love mom, a lot !

Mother
Me and you spend a lot of time together
Only you in the whole house sleep with me
There are so many things you do for me
Heart is big
Energetic you are
Roses are red and so you are!

Mom, I love you so much
There are so many things you do for me
Coffee makes me think about you
I love you very much
Every day and every time.

Mother’s Love
Her tender arms are always open when we need a hug,
Her kind heart understands when we need a friend,
Her gentle eyes become stern when we need a lesson,
Her love and strength give us wings when we need to fly!
Her sympathetic words guide us when we need help,
Her powerful hands assist us when we need a push,
Her admirable actions show through when we need a role model,
Her love and strength give us wings when we need to fly!
