I held your face in my hands <br />The most beautiful thing I had ever seen <br />I knew then that my life was yours <br />Then and all the years in between. <br /> <br />The second time I held your face <br />You were still the most beautiful thing <br />Again my life would never be the same <br />Strange how somethings always seem the same. <br /> <br />The third time I held your face in my hands <br />My life again I pledged to you <br />Just as beautiful as before <br />Eyes so like your mothers so blue and true, <br /> <br />Finally I held my sons face in my hand <br />I knew then I would love you the same <br />My three daughters and now my son <br />The love for your family is eternal and will always remain. <br /> <br />Those faces I held in my hand <br />Now hold their own childs faces <br />It's funny how history repeats itself <br />New life goes on and new love replaces.<br /><br />Craig Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-children-12/
