Seeds of Love Poem:

These seeds are here for me and you,

And Mommy, here’s what we can do:

Together we’ll look until we’ve found

A spot to plant them in the ground.

With rain and sunshine, don’t you know,

Our flowers, like our love, will grow.

A precious reminder our flowers will be

That I love Mommy and she loves me!
