My sweetest darling dears
how oft Ive shed some tears
looking upon your faces
remembering tender embraces
It seems so long ago
when you snuggled in just so
a love so pure and chaste
I dared not let it go in haste
I held your little hand
your independence you demand
and with a grieved sigh
did I finally comply
Through the mistakes I've made
by your sides I've always stayed
never intending to dismay
keeping my own emotions at bay
Who knew a model I would be
of life's potpourri
a life of joy and love
love yourselves without lack thereof
Go now and be free
from all diversity
live and learn from life
may it be free of strife
