My Precious Children
My precious children
Listen to my words
My love for you overwhelms
My very being
I want to protect you
From the insanity outside
An impossible task
From a distance
Remember us in the coming years
When we are gone
Dissolved in the earth
You are the future
We saw you grow
From tiny to mature
How I miss those days of innocence
When the silliest act could spark a laugh
Bright sparkles in your dark eyes
As you saw the jokes in everything
Even the scary monsters
Were funny clowns to you
Brave children
Strong as you grew
Now as you walk out into the world
As ready as you can ever be
I am so proud
Of whom you have become
Of what you have accomplished
Of the possibilities you have
Sparks in the darkness
Guides to the light
Never forget where you came from
Never lose sight of your goals
And remember those who are troubled
Those who need love
Lift out your hands to help
And never forget those who cared for you.
