memories bubble up

in the eyes of my children today
echo their eyes of yesterdays
they do not know what my heart sees

in the words of my children today
echo their words of yesterdays
they do not know what my heart hears

in the lives of my children today
echo their lives of yesterdays
they do not know what my heart feels

my heart lives today with purpose
faith, hope and love bind together
a cord of strength, courage and wisdom
