My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's 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

M     is for the million things she gave me

O     means only that she's growing old

T     is for the tears were shed to save me

H    is for her heart of purest gold

E    is for her eyes with love-light shining

R    means right and right she'll always be



Put them all together they spell "MOTHER"
A word that means the world to me

The whole world to me.
