Dedicated To My Girls

My girls are very dear to me--
in sorrow or in pain
they are always near.

Should that not suffice me,
just to know how much they care?

God bless them both for loving me
although at times with them I don't agree.
I know I do things that are not right,
and I worry when they are out of sight. 

God grant them happiness and peace
with their family and friends,
and a rich reward when their life ends.
