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
