We are your garden you tend
to each day.
Seeds of respect, self worth, responsibility
you have planted.
You watch over us, shelter us, help us
to grow strong.
Each of you guide us in your own
special way,
To meet the goals that so many
take for granted.
Thank you, my gardener, for
helping us along.
I wrote this for my sons teachers and therapist. I took pictures
of the
children in his class and cut them out to be the center of the flowers I
made into memory book for each of his 'gardeners' .
