A mother's wish

A mother's wish
Today I watched you
play in the snow
I remmebered my days there
so very long ago
You built up your fort
and stocked up on balls
ready for any invader
to protect these walls
You brought reinforcements
or so you made them believe
you fooled them you stinker
always a trick up your sleeve
You had so much fun
and I remembered the years
where me and my friends
enjoyed life without cares
Whack! Ha! I got you!
What's the name of this game?
childhood... that's it
the one and the same
Those days are too numbered
and fly by much to fast
like the snowflakes in winter
and the memories of past
Remember them fondly
keep them close to your heart
one day your own children
will build their first fort
You will sit back and sigh
and think of this day
when you thought of nothing
but playing it away
Fond memories of play time
and quiet times too
like the park and the ball field
or a day at the zoo.
Be good to yourselves
and each other as well
speak kindly and softly
there is no need to yell
Enjoy every moment
fill them with love
feed them with kindness
give them light from above
God gave you to me
and he gave me to you
There is no one more special
than each of you.
