Our Mother kept a garden.<br />
A garden of the heart;<br />
She planted all the good things,<br />
That gave our lives its start.<br />
<br />
We are our Mother's garden,<br />
We are her legacy.<br />
And we hope today she feels the love,<br />
Reflected back from us.<br />
<br />
We Love You Mom!<br />
