Precious

Precious children in my care
laughed and frolicked, unaware
life would not forever be
simple, fun, and trouble-free.

Care, I’ll give, though they’re no more
unaware of what’s in store.
Be mentor? I will! They need
free advice. Perhaps they’ll heed!

So true of children -- and therein lies their innocence, and our magic memories of that time of life. :) gw
