Time with my children passes more quickly now
Days are now weeks and then months somehow
The treasures of childhood are older and grown
Reminding me daily that they are mine just on loan
I pray that the days that now will remain
continue to prosper and give Heavenly gain.
Give me the wisdom to love them like you
To let them see Your love in all that I do.

As they walk down the aisle and a tassle is turned
I pray they're reminded of lessons they've learned
Memories of studies and books they have read
All of the logic that's stored in their head
Let them remember that we've tried our best
To lead them to know how to win in the test
Give me the wisdom to trust them with you
To let them feel your love in all that they do

They were your children before they were born
I leave them with you, while my heart is torn
I trust that my teachings will stay close in heart
and that they seek you in new lives that they start
Fill up my void that will linger inside
and let me watch growth as my heart fills with pride.

Give me the patience to trust them with you
To let go and trust that their troubles be few
Let them learn something from all that I've done
To see you are God in sad or in fun
Continue to guide them and let them feel You
Keeping their faith and to you remain true.
