Our Children

Our Children 

Children are a special gift 
Sent from heaven above
For us to give and show
Our everlasting love

To watch them grow
To see them learn
To show them, too
How we're concerned 

To set high values
Good morals for them, too 
So they can carry on the legacy
They learned from you

Caring for them never stops 
Even when they move on
We still are there for them
Above and beyond

So never give up hope
Never give up on them, too
They will eventually remember 
What you taught them to do
