Mother's Day Poem

Hi! I wanted to include a Mother's Day poem that was featured on Ellen Hutson's site that is perfect for Mother's Day!
The author of this poem is unknown. I copied the poem on Word Processing and framed it out for the inside insert of my cards in the previous post.
Let me know what you think of it, it touched my heart so much I just had to pass it along!

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 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 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 to me.
