Mother's Day

I Often Go Walking -

The children at our church sing this song for Mother's Day and every year it reminds me of the wonderful things my mother passed on to me.  I can name many of the flowers and trees in my garden because of my mother. She passed on her love of nature to all of her daughters.


I often go walking in meadows of clover,
 
 
I gather armfuls of blossoms of blue.
 
 
 
 
I gather the blossoms the whole meadow over,
 


 
Dear Mother the flowers remind me of you.
 
 
Oh Mother I give my love with each flower,
 
 
To give forth a fragrance a whole lifetime through;
 
 
For if I love blossoms and meadows and walking,
 


 
I learn how to love them dear Mother from you.
