Mother’s Day Flowers

I wrote and painted this for my Mother on Mother’s Day.

“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 rains came she protected me enough,

But not too much because she knew I needed to grow strong and tough!

Her constant good example always taught me right from wrong,

Markers from my pathway that will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother’s garden.

I am her legacy and hope she feels the love reflected back from me!

—K. C. Grau
