The One and Only Mom
By Elan Villareal

I believe my mom is special
very special
She looks like me
She has brown straight hair like the soccer field lines
She has light brown, green, and yellow eyes.
Brown like dirt
Green like grass
Yellow like the opposing team’s jerseys
She has a smooth nose like our soccer balls
She has short eyelashes like small invisible lines
She has small freckles like tiny stars in the sky
She has a big smile like rainbows
I believe my mom is special
very special
