All I Want For My Children

All I want for my children is happiness
                            All I expect from myself is to make sure its in reach
So this is what I teach them as they grow up
                            To strive for happiness before all else
So  as I grow old I know i did my job 
                            That they achieve the ultimate gift to receive in life.

It's a good goal to be able to take care of oneself 1st, then you have energy enough to help those you love. Light & Love
