Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
there must be someone
you always want to share your life with,
and to stay by her or his side
as long as you may live.

Once in a lifetime
you want that special someone
to belong to you only
and to never have to share his life
with anyone else

Once in a lifetime
you want that special someone
to sing love songs
and to read love poems to only you

Once in a lifetime
you want that special someone
to thank you for the kids you have raised
and taken care of the way you should

Once in a lifetime
you want that special someone,
together with you,
to give them good examples to follow
to make them people
deserving love and honour


Happy Valentine's Day,
my dear kids.
