Into Eternity
You are all my children:
If you are ever going to love me
Love me now, while I'm alive,
With tender feelings
And true affection.
You are all my children:
Don't wait until I'm gone
And my name is chiseled in marble
For then it will be too late.
As my children:
If you have tender thoughts for me
Please show them to me now,
Because when I'm sleeping
I'll never wake again.
Dear Children:
Please be here for me now
Now is when it counts
I need you while I'm living
So I can treasure it
Into eternity.
