My Children Poem by Yvonne Allsop

The very first time I saw you,
And took you in my arms;
I knew that as your mother,
I would cause no harm.

I cherished you with laughter.
I taught you right from wrong;
And you are forever my daughter,
And you are always my son.

I glow with pride and honour,
That you came here to stay.
You are my proudest moment;
I love you in every way.

I gave you wings so you could fly.
I gave you grounds to see
That where you fly, or whenever,
You are the best to me.
