To My Children

T~was not long ago,
O~nly wee ones you were.

M~onths, then years came and went
Y~earning to move on to matured growth and progress.

C~haracter-building, education, training
H~elping, assisting, childcare, economic strain!
I~ ndependently raising from wee ones to young adult; minimal help indeed!
L~ovingly caring such strength displaying,
D~aring all bad to overcome my good.
R~elentlessly working all week and week-ends,
E~endeavoring to keep 12 hour shifts and Full-time school!
N~ever complaining, always try to share with you all, and some others who 
     may be in a plight.
    
Thus, children, it may seem long ago, that Example, Caring, Individual Strength, helped Propelled your will to progress; despite the decision to deprive.
