I love my children, oh, so much. <br /> I love them better than tongue can tell <br />But I love them and let them be, <br /> Some day they will make me proud, you see. <br />For if I should worship them while here <br /> God might call them away some-where. <br />* * * * * * * <br /> <br />While I sit alone in the twilight hours <br /> Reflections crowd before me, <br />They carry me back to baby-land <br /> Where children pounced upon me.<br /><br />Della Hodgson James<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/children-are-a-blessing-2/
