Watering Can

Watering Can Glittering little watering can, Not so long ago I found you, Among Mother’s gardening tools, Rusted, bent, lonely, abused. To honor you dear mother, And your love for glorious flowers, It was a pleasure all mine To find glittering glass in blossom colors. To cement them there in illumined array, A stunning compliment to any bouquet A gardening lover could compose, As they tenderly water their beds. Now little can you may stand proud, To honor a lady who to her family, Was no less than Lady Liberty And will always be.

This was gorgeous my sweet friend. Being a gardener, (and a son), this one really touched my heart. I love how you did this, it obviously came straight from your heart.
