Poems From Real Life Dedicated To My Children Poem by Della Hodgson James

Dear children, in all the years gone by
  I can not say but this,
That you have been my stay in life
  Something akin to bliss.
You've kept my mind from straying
  You've held my interest fast,
You've been my constant teacher
  In all the things that last.

You've ask sometimes for stories
  So in this book you'll find,
Stories of our childhood
  That I recall to mind.

To have watched your lives unfolding
  Has brought happiness to me,
I'll always love little children
  Where ever I may be.
