Mother’s Day
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures. –
Francis Bacon (1625) Essays ‘Of Gardens’
She dances to a beat nobody hears
A heavenly melody in her head
A smile on her face, in her eyes no tears
A gleam, a sparkle, a twinkle instead
It’s a warm, sun-filled, beautiful spring day
May flowers are in bloom all around her
Blossoms arranged, an over-sized bouquet
Entranced, she walked with her lovely daughter
What more can she ask for, this Mother’s Day
The same every year till she’s old and gray
