My Mother kept a garden,
She turned me to the sunshine
And when the winds and rain came,
Her constant good example
I am my Mother's garden.
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
And encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...
she protected me enough--
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
always taught me right from wrong--
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am her legacy--
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me.

Although I didn't write these words, I wish I had. This page is dedicated to my mother, Anne Kruse, and all the mothers who have passed on to a better place.
