mother, mama (altered to be palatable)
mother in the garden
flowers bloom at her touch
verdant greens
barren soil becomes fruitful
bees come and go,
rabbits watch, nervous.
petals soft as silk.
sun warms the wood planters
turning the planks into
something soft, alive.
a home, created in the soil
care, shapes the landscape,
just as much as the rain does.
a labour of love.
