My Fathers Garden

My father kept a garden,

A garden of the heart,

he planted all the good things there

That gave my life it’s start.

He turned me into sunshine

and encouaged me to dream

Fostering and nurturing

The seeds of self esteem

And when the winds and rain came

He protected me enough

but not too much much because he knew

I’d need to stand up strong and tough

His constant good example

always taught me right from wrong

markers for my pathway

That will last a lifetime long

I am now my Fathers garden,

I am his legacy

And I hope today he feels the love reflected back from me.
