Ode To a Virgo Mom On the Occasion of Her Birthday

Grace under pressure
Unflappable class
Overtones of elegance
Strength of brass.

Tending splendid gardens
Where laughter and fun
Sprout as if native
In the warmth of her sun.

Incensed by thoughtless actions
Yet steady in her mood
Mixing sweet persuasion
With wisdom for food.

A Virgo mom’s a blessing
For one raised in her nest
So just today this Taurus says
That Virgo is the best!

Hey I found it!! I am a Virgo mom too!!! Are you a Taurus writing this to your mom? Taurus is one of my favorite signs, it's also earth like virgo! Very nice poem.

Yep, I'm a Taurus. And back when I wrote this, one of my rallying cries was "Taurus is the BEST!" (oh, and just so ya know, I tend to be a Virgo magnet... my mom, my children's father, my current lover... ) Love me some Virgo's, Namaste.
