~ This is also something from my book. In the story it’s a song, but I wrote it as a poem so it works without a tune. It’s from the perspective of a mother singing to her child. ~

In the times of joy,
Of beauty and of light,
In days free of trouble—
Danger, sorrow, plight

When your life is filled
With blessings of ev’ry kind
Ne’er forget my words;
Keep them forever in your mind:

Remember, my dear,
That I love you still
I have loved you always
And I always will
