They're my children now
to have and to hold
I'll wrap my arms around them
When they're feeling cold
I'll be there to comfort them
and chase away all their fears
and I'll be the one
to wipe away any tears
I'll be there to assure them
that I'll never leave
and I'll always be there for them
when they are in need

They're my children now
through the good times and bad
for now I must be
both the mom and the dad
I'll be there to attend
all of their games
and also to scold them
when they call each other names
I'll see the excitement
of their first date
or when they blow out the candles
on their birthday cake
I'll be there for graduations
and parties and such
I'll be the one to feel
the grandchildrens touch
to experience all this
It's hard to imagine
How someone could walk away
from such beautiful children
But they're my children now

And that's all that matters
