Happy Mother’s Day!
This is one of the priceless drawings a friend of my family growing up did for us. It’s the same man who drew the picture of me singing at the Dust Bowl that I posted recently. This time his vision of Mother’s Day became a treasure on what we called, “The Thomson Wall” at our home in Tulsa.
___________
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 rain came,
She protected me enough.
But not too much because 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
That will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother’s garden.
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love
Reflected back from me.

Little Hiccups
This morning I’m getting a haircut! To say I’m overdue is an understatement. To be able to shower and simply blow it dry in the mornings again will be wonderful. I’d really like it to stay longer on my forehead, so I’m taking a couple of pics on my phone to show him. Fingers crossed.
