My Kids

A poem for my kids, :) (Nope this isn't a picture of them, But, I will be adding one as soon as I am able)

MY KIDS

 

 

I'd have a dozen if I could

but that takes a lot of money,

I'll settle for the ones I have

these ones are really funny.

 

 

Through the years

they've brought me joy and tears,

Grandchildren I adore

and more will be comming.

 

 

I'm thankful for each and every one

The lessons they've learned,

and taught me in return

plus all we have still to look for

 

The love that we all share

is beyond any compare

Call them gifts of love or from above

it does'nt really matter

 

 

As I look back now on the past

I wonder if I did my very best,

I know I tried to, I worked hard at it

I hope that they all know that.

 

 

I love them all for who they are

and what they've grown to be,

I have faith in them to continue on

with their own families.

 

 

No matter where I am

I hope they always know,

I will be "here" for them

be it in body,mind or soul.

Windy..... that is so touching! You make the reader feel the true emotions and love that you are carrying in your heart for your children. What a beautiful writing from a mother to her children :) I am a mom myself and I can relate so well to all these emotions and essence of life! Thank you Windy, you have done such a wonderful job :)

Salam to you

Very touching poem, I love the way it flows and then doesn't, very abstract:-)

I will be "here" for them
be it in body,mind or soul.


--great last lines...

This was definitely an emotional write, and I could sense the love that you feel for your children in each and every line. A few small errors in spelling and punctuation, but overall, you did a great job with this one.

it does'nt really matter (doesn't)
I know I tried to, I worked hard at it (you don't need the first "to" or "at it". "I know I tried, I worked hard" would be fine--just omitt the unnecessary words and it will tighten things up)

Aw pshaw...I'm sure you are a good mom. What a sweet poem, though...very nice.

[Wildecat]
