For my Children

For my children what wouldn't I do,

to hear you laughing and playing

Acting like loons.

For my children what wouldn't I do,

To watch your smiling faces

underneath a glowing moon. 

For my children what wouldn't I do,

To see you grow big and strong

Taking pride in your various sizes.

For my children what wouldn't I do,

To be the best mother

who provides for you. 

For my children I will fight through the tears.

I will push back the trauma, the lies and the fears. 

For my children I will shed my own blood,

For what is a sacrifice but the greatest form of love. 

For my children I will worry everyday

Even long after you've grown and moved away. 

For my children what wouldn't I do?

I will do my very best to be there for you.

So grow big and strong

Take in all the light,

My beautiful children 

Grow up right. 

For my children what wouldn't I do?

I will gladly be here for you. 

Always.
