"My Children"  

To my children, the children I carried for 10 months.

 

The little children who give me nothing but true love.

I am thankful to have been blessed from above.

 

The little children with eyes so brown.

One look at them and there is no sadness.

Their laughs are full of gladness.

 

The little children without any worry.

Who love without holding back.

They have no fear and that's a fact.

 

The little children who put their whole trust in me,

Cause I am "mommy" and that is how it is suppose to be.

“Mommies” provide safety, love, and security.

 

The little children who made me who I am today.

The ones that helped me walk the right way.

 

When the days are long, hard, and weary…

When I wonder if there is anything left in me…

 

All I have to do is look at my little children…

My precious little children…

 

The little children who motivate me.
