I am giving my mom a homemade card for Mother's Day...something I haven't done for years. I used the following poem (found on this website) and a photo from our March 2006 trip. The photo was taken in the grounds of the Villa Borghese, and is of mom admiring the almond (I think?) blossoms.
God's Masterpiece Is Mother
God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother.
- Herbert Farnham
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY FELLOW MOMS!!!

What a beautiful and serene scene of your Mom admiring the flowering trees! And how lovely that you're giving her a handmade card. I have saved all the ones my two kids made for me and all the cards my Mom has sent me after I got married. They are my treasures.
Happy Mother's Day to you and your Mom!
