I USED THIS POEM "A GARDEN OF HAPPINESS" TO NAME MY BOOK BECAUSE IT ENCOMPASSES THE WHOLE SCOPE OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO WRITE.

Close your eyes and imagine your life in as another Eden1
And you can call it yours and can build a fence around it
Below the surface there’s a system of roots in this garden
Responsibility for the garden’s growth will keep you fit
How do you cultivate this garden of happiness?
And what is its impact on the greater whole
Till the soil with compassion without any finesse
Sow your seeds with love and all your soul
Compassion should be you only tool
Your attitude and actions should be kind nothing new
Yes! do remember the Golden Rule,
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Then in “Mothers” he shows his love for his mother in:

Mothers are very precious
Their meals are delicious
For the socks or shirt you cannot find
A mother is there to soothe your mind
If you are lazy and leave your room in a mess
She’ll fret but she’ll clean it I have to confess
Some kids’ eyes are covered with wool
Then motherhood to them is ungrateful
They love you with faults anyhow
They will even face a butting cow
If someone ever threaten a mother’s young
Even if you threaten to cut out their tongue
They will defend their young so gallantly
And you will always have their loyalty
They are the bulwark of the health systems
They’re more precious than diamond or gems
No matter how warring with flags we unfurled
Our loving mothers brought us into this world
