Our Mother Kept A Garden – Anon 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 pathways to last our whole lives long. We are our Mother's garden. We are her legacy. And we hope today she feels the love reflecting from we three.
