Children

Children Life can be difficult that fact is well known Your kids are your kids after their grown We may not always see eye to eye But somehow you need to let hard times fly by You can't let things linger And you can't shake your finger You just hope you can guide them if they ask But don't be offended when you’re not given the task They will raise their kids the way they think best Just like we did when we were put to the test This is a cycle we all live by Things may get hard we might even cry When you watch your son with two boys and a girl And know this is hard, mixed up with some frills You know you have taught him the best that you can You sit back and smile what a wonderful man Then there's your daughter, who has a little one As she sits and feeds her newborn son It's so hard to know the right things to do But you know she's ready as he sits there and coos Parents and children are gifts from above Mistakes may be made but there will always be love Never take things for granted whatever you do And know all that we do is just for you So always show love be it parents or kids And know that the differences can sometimes be hid Don't let the small things take control of your life And always show love to your parents, kids, husband and wife. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say We will always love you each and every day Your kids will always know the love you've shown Even after they're all full grown .............By Barbara poor
