Today I want to share with you an excerpt from the newest Simple Truths book by Paula J. Fox. The book is “Heart of a Mother” and I cannot wait to read it in its entirety. Thanks to the preview option they have on their website I was able to read the poem below by an unknown author that speaks of the greatest love we are able to share on this earth. That is the love of a mother. I thought it fitting to share it with you today being Valentine’s Day since there is no greater love than that of a mother for her child. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
My Mother’s Garden
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things
that gave my life its 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 – she knew I’d need
to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
Always taught me right from wrong…
Markers for my pathway
To last my whole life long.
I am My Mother’s Garden.
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feel the love
Reflected back from me
