Our Mother Kept a Garden
Our mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things, that gave our lives 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, she knew we’d need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example, always taught us right from wrong;
Markers for our pathway to last our whole life long.
We are our mother's garden, we are her legacy thus;
We hope today she feels the love, reflected back from us.
