Happy Mother's day

My Mother’s Garden
My Mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things that gave my life its start.
She turned me to the sunshine and encouraged me to dream …
fostering and nurturing the seed of self esteem.
And when the winds and rains came, she protected me enough …
but not too much – she knew I’d need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example always taught me right from wrong …
markers for my pathway to last my whole life long.
I am MY MOTHER”S GARDEN. I am her legacy.
And I hope she feels the love reflected back from me.
