this is a poem taken from a book called the CHICKEN SOUP.hope you like it.(by Staci Warren)
my mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
she planted all the good things
that gave my life a 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 because she knew
i'd need to stand up strong and tough.
her constant good example
always taughtme right from wrong-
markersfor my athway
that will last a lifetime long.
i am in my mother's garden.
i am her legacy,
and i hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me!
