It reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was little.

Children, Gather Around

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2006 with permission of the Author.

Children, come and gather round.
Be very still, don't make a sound.
This is what I have to say.
Keep it with you every day.
I wish I had the magic touch
For each of you I love so much.
I'd protect you day and night.
I'd keep you safe within my sight,
But oh so soon this will be.
One by one you'll say to me
That you must go, to find your way.
Within my sight you cannot stay.
That is why I'll make it clear.
If you need me, I'll be here.
Into this world you came through me,
So till the day no more I see,
Remember here you have a home.
Never do you have to roam
