My Beautiful Mother

You make being a Mom look easy.
These words reflect what I have come to know and love in my Mother:
Beautiful, resourceful,
encouraging, accepting,
makes me feel special,
role model, resilient,
motivating, spiritual,
recognized in many ways,
teacher, leader,
fun,
enjoyable,
appreciative,
as a child and to this day I love to see her with the wind blowing through her hair when going on a boat ride at Lake Minchumina,
talented,
she makes herself available to me, for which I am thankful, in this busy world,
helper, cook,
kind, giving,
but most of all,
My Mother.
Thank you ,Mom, for caring for me these many years
I love you.

Lake Minchumina by Sidney Isom (Age 10)



There are lynx,
their paws padding on the forest floor.
Black bears towering above me.
Mosquitos humming,
buzzing by my ear.
The chirping of the young fledglings,
like a song of peace.
The fresh toasty waffles,
and the juicy, mouth watering spam,
like they are more,
than the best thing in the world.
I smell the silent burning firewood,
It's smoke drifting upward.
I walk outside and feel the dew dipped grass,
wave between my toes.
And those crackling leaves that crunch beneath my feet.
There,
in Minchumina,
I am very happy.
