The Gardeners Of Wind-Blown Wild Flowers...

I've been lazy and uninspired to make any paper cuttings for ages now. But with tomorrow being Mother's Day I forced myself to come up with something... just a simple one for all you moms and moms-to-be out therebiggrin.

I'll be at my eldest son's school's Sports Day tomorrow cheering for him. He's involved in the 100 meter dash (for special kids). Last year he managed to get 3rd placing. He is really excited about the run, and this time he wants to get 1st place for me. That would be an awesome Mother's Day present but I'm happy that he is motivated... he has come so far from a timid, scared boy to what he is today.


Mothers are the gardeners
Of wind-blown wild flowers.
They water them with happy tears,
Happy with them many years,
Even as the hours
Ring with sweet, sad melodies
Sighing through their bowers.

~ Nicholas Gordon

Happy Mother's Day!
