I wrote this poem for my mother who was a stay at home, homeschooling mother. She was a avid teacher of gardening and nature. I suppose all mothers have that, it factor, when it comes to influencing their children in a specific way. I am the man I am today, thanks to my mother. My ideas about life and the world around me is due to her teaching and strong moral values that she instilled in all us kids.
