As the three of you begin life's journeys anew Remember everything that our family has taught you

We haven't always gotten along There were times I shouted and screamed Times that I left you disappointed Or when I said things I didn't mean

How you feel is true Those emotions are you They have their uses You don't need excuses

Why must suffering exist? Why must love ones never return? Why must we endure hardship while those above us never learn?

Three kisses to tell you to wake up Ten kisses to say it's time to go Twenty kisses because I want attention and one kiss because I love you

I made this for you It's not much Just a paper flower Folded with care

Looking out the window There's life, moving, whirling about A never ending motion Like a kaleidoscope always turning Changing the world in small ways People come, people go Nothing stays the same for long Not even a microsecond

From the days long ago when I was very small You've been there always No matter the day

When I was waiting and you were on your way It was impossible to imagine my life with you

You rest on my pillow beside me Smiling when I smile at you You rest your head on my shoulder when no one else is around
