Happy Birthday Mum

Hey Jen's turned ???? (if I told she would come after me with the whacking stick, and I'm still afraid of that !!)

Here's a little something I did when I had my own web pages many moons ago, and I am wanting to share this again with everyone as it says it all.

I AM MY MOTHERS 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 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
that will last a lifetime long.

I am my mothers garden,
I am her legacy
And I hope she feels the love
reflected back from me

Happy birthday mum,
Love you more with each passing day,
Carol
