Poem #1
My Mother
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 deeds 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 strang
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!
