Dear Son & Daughter

Dear Son & Daughter

Dear son & daughter, I hope you are both well

You make me feel proud, and still very swell

This is a poem I’ve made especially for you

Prompted by memories of times together, that flood through

Bring happiness to my mind, but also make me feel blue

Reminders of cherished moments I longed to repeat

Before they get lost and with age, prone to delete

But I know that time steals away this chance

And for you, too, will soon repeat life’s dance

Feeling deprived of times that cannot be brought

But things change and know they cannot be caught

For I know we can all be together again one day

We are all linked by life’s action in some way

Given a fair wind I know you always could & should

Be the best of life’s children, knowing that you are both very good!
