Our Mother kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave our life their start.
She turned us to the sunshine,
And encouraged us to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rains came,
She protected us enough;
But not too much, because she knew
We would stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example,
Always taught us right from wrong;
Markers of our pathway,
That will last a lifetime long.
We are our Mother’s garden,
We are her legacy.
Thankyou Mum, we love you,
For all eternity x x x
