This poem was read out at the funeral and I think it really reflects how mum nurtured us growing up like her beautiful garden she kept... Our mum kept a garden A garden of the heart She planted all good things That gave our lives their start. She 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 She protected us enough, But not too much because she knew We would stand up strong and tough. Her constant good example Always taught us right from wrong Markers for our pathway that will last A lifetime long. We are our mother’s garden We are her legacy Thank you Mum, We love you and hope that you agree.
