Mother's Day
When I was young and growing up 22nd April was the only recognised Mother's Day at home.
Today would have been my Lovely Mum's 88th Birthday.
My Mother kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life a 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 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 today she feels the love,
Reflected back from me.
