For My Children

Your path in life I always aim to enhance.
My time with you is balanced as best I can
most often driven by your dependance.
Independence the goal since your life began.
Remember mistakes make way for another chance
to embrace the lessons of lifes great plan.

My love is not something to balance
nor to feel shared or compared by our clan
For each of you its unique in substance
not quantifiable, not more or less than
My love will hold strong no matter the distance
I am yours, always, for you are my children.

You write with insightful words of a mother who is well aware of her children's spoken and tacit needs, Laura! I suppose that most parents come face to face with similar posers! Apart from the content, enjoyed your rhyme scheme ~ Warm regards // paul
