My Mother Kept A Garden
![div](imagesg/herdaybar1.jpg)
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
![div](imagesg/herdayicon.jpg)
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem.
![div](imagesg/herdaybut.jpg)
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.
![div](imagesg/herdayicon.jpg)
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong.
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
![div](imagesg/herdaybut.jpg)
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me.
