You must have this now:

Click choose an elegant font.
I used Cotillion. Get it here.
Open the font and minimize.
You'll find it in your drop down menu.
I used size 72 if you use another font, you
might have to adjust your size. Stroke is 0,0.
Alignment  left. Use bold.

Type your text. I typed Mom. Apply.
If you use another word, like mother, use a smaller font size.

Convert to raster.

Place next to the flowers.

Click your text tool again and type the next line.

Because I wanted a poem, I used size 30.

Convert to raster.

Merge your layers
