Memories In My Heart

I love to watch the children play
to see them having fun
I love to hear them laugh with joy
untill the day is done

When the long day is over
I love to hold them tight
to tuck them in and say their prayers
to bless them through the night

When morning comes and they awake
with their morning glee
I love to watch their shining faces
as they run and play so free

I love to help them with their prayers
to see them learn so much
I love to be there when they fall
to offer a gentle touch

I hate it when I have to scold them
though I know they need to learn
I know that its my job to teach them
and their respect that I must earn

I love to watch them grow each day
it happens, oh so fast
I know they will soon be leaving
because childhood doesnt last

But while their small ill hold thier hands
and keep them safe at home
Untill its time for thier adventures
then theyll be on their own

But, even when their grown and gone
and I am all alone
I'll hold the memories in my heart
and cherish the love theyve shown

To do that to a jaded cynic like me takes skill ha ha. Excellent!; Reply to Comment
