Our parents kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
They planted all the good things,
That gave our lives their start.
They turned us to the sunshine,
And encouraged us to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rain came,
they protected us enough;
But not too much because they knew
We would stand up strong and tough.
Their constant good example,
Always taught us right from wrong;
Markers for our pathway that will last
a lifetime long.
We are our parents garden,
We are their legacy.
Thank you Mom and Dad,
we love you.
