For My Children
The dreams of youth have passed me by,
and so I plan a future before I die.
A future of hope on a foundation strong,
in hopes to erase my every wrong.
For my children….
And in this future my hopes will lie,
for no bond is as strong as a family tie.
And in generations to come my dreams will grow,
for my deeds and my hopes into their future I sew.
For my children….
For as I toil late into the night,
I know with a good heart that of which I do is right.
And as I wearily enter my place of rest,
I know deep in my heart I have done my best,
for my children.
