Family Chains
( For my sons 21st birthday )
( For my sons 21st birthday )
To the children we love so much,
Small yet hardy,that's what they say
But as your mum and dad we see you in different ways
Your flawless skin, your sparkling eyes,
The way you drive us mad, always asking why?
One simple step that every child takes,
When you do the same our hearts could break.
From toddler to child you move away
Each independant trait, but we want you to stay
Our child yet our babe forever, we need
To feel somewhere inside you, we are your seed
So never forget that feeling inside,
That you'll always belong and never be freed,
For a chain has been created and will never be broken
To our children we write these words
Thou these thoughts are never spoken!
