Ans: The poet compares the 'little deeds' she does for her mother to 'flowers' as a metaphor to symbolize the beauty, love, and appreciation these actions represent. Just like flowers are a traditional gesture of love and appreciation, the poet's daily tasks and help are her way of showing love and gratitude towards her mother. It highlights that acts of service and kindness can be as valuable and meaningful as physical gifts. 

4.
Ans: This question is personal and varies from one individual to another. Typically, one might help their mother by doing household chores, assisting with groceries, cooking meals, or simply spending quality time together. Mothers often appreciate these gestures through words of gratitude, hugs, smiles, and sometimes, reciprocating acts of kindness. The appreciation is shown not just in words but in the loving and supportive relationship shared between a mother and her child.
