A Letter to My Children

Tiny hands that reached out for me

To share the touch of the mystery

Shining eyes that wonder what will be

So begins a love

Like you have never known

A love for another life

So strong that you would

Give your own

You do your best

And hope that you have shown them

You’re my heroes

You’re what matters

All the days of my life

You’re my heroes

My ever after

You bring me joy, bring the light

Now you're young men

And women of the world

Fly the winds of kindness

Let your wings unfurl

I wish you peace

And that sad times turn to pearls

And if I go away

Please remember every day

That I'll be there

To help you find your way back home

And when I go away

Please remember every day

All the ways you make me proud to say
