To my Boys

©

This is to my boys I loved you from

The first,

I loved you in the good times I loved you

In the worst,

My thoughts will always be with you

Wherever you go,

And I hope I’ve taught you all the things

You need to know

©©

As I think back to your childhood as I

Often do,

It’s always with pleasure that I think about

You two,

It was a wonderful time and I loved

Every single day,

And I’d do it all over again but in

A better way

©©

I pray for your success I pray for everything

You do,

But most of all I pray for peace to come

To you,

For a good nights sleep to prepare you for

The day,

And for a light upon your path to show you

The way

©©

Two important things you should always

Keep in sight,

Priorities and perspective will keep your

Ship upright,

Keep your eyes open wide and keep your

Goal in view,

May heaven open up her doors and rain

Blessings upon you
