They Will Remember

I take care of your children.

I love them.

I teach them.

I clean them, and I feed them.

And when nighttime comes,

my heart worrys about them.

I take care of your children.

I see their first steps.

I hear their first words.

I share their happiness, and I feel their hurts.

I take care of your children,

as if they were my own.

And when they are grown, and no longer need me,

My love will be a part of them

deep within the heart of them.

They will know that I was there for them unconditionally.

And they will remember!
