Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Mother's Day Blessings to you all.
You can catch me reading some poetry and telling some light-hearted jokes on Radio Kidnappers today (Sunday) at 1:30 pm. (AM 10431 or FM 104.7 or go to their website and listen live)
I hope you have enjoyed the poems this week.
Here is today's one.
Bright Blessings on you all

My Mother Kept A Garden

My Mother kept a garden,
A garden of the heart.
She planted all the good things
That gave my life its start.
She turned me to the sunshine
And encouraged me to dream.
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rain came,
She protected me enough.
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
Always taught me right from wrong.
Markers for my pathway
That will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love – Reflected back at me.

Knowledge Bank have a bound copy (very large) of April - June 1955 Dominion newspapers. We don't need it but it's too good to just chuck out - would anybody want it or know somebody that would like it
