A Love Letter to My Children

I never thought.. I never dreamed
Children could ever be
All the things... through all the years
That you have been to me.
Wondrous sons and daughters..
But that is just a part..
You are laughing friends and playmates
To love with all my heart.
A source of pride and pleasure..
My dearest dreams come true..
And you're teaching me so many things
As I grow along with you.
A keener understanding..
A more unselfish way..
I feel I'm growing wiser
Living with you day by day.
I know I'm growing happier..
How could I help but be
With so many precious lives unfolding
That are a part of me?
