Mothers' Day Poem

[maggiebee]

My darling daughter wrote this inside the card she sent me:

My Mother Kept a 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 seeds of self esteem....
And when the winds and rain came, she protected me enough
But not too much because 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 that will last a lifetime long
I am my mother's garden, I am her legacy
And I hope today she feels the love reflected back from me.

I've got a lot to live up to!
