I must tell you here and now, that I am the proudest of fathers to have been blessed with such wonderful children. Although grown up and quite adult, they remain as children in my heart.
This piece is a chronology of my children, and of whom I am so very proud.
WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?
With their loving mother, as she guides the way.
Where are my children?
With their friends, as they challenge the rules.
Where are my children?
Making decisions, that will separate them from fools.
Where are my children?
With their husbands or wives, as they advance through their lives.
Where are my children?
With their children, guiding their way.
Where are my children?
With their mother, comforting her on this grievous day.
Where are my children?
With their father, lovingly guiding him as they point the way.
Where are my children?
My lovely, lovely children. Who have given to me and my wife.
Everything and more, that proud parents could ever ask out of life.
Where my children?
They are here, Deep in my heart, with all of my love forever,
and there they shall stay.
Where are my children at this time of day?
