Always tuck me in at night
To show me that you care
Always kiss my boo-boos
And gently comb my hair
Always look me in the eye
And mean just what you say
Always share your heart
And take the time to play
Always reach back
When I extend my hand in need
Always stay beside me
If I start to bleed
Always pause to listen
When I have a story to tell
Always ask good questions
It helps me to be well
Always challenge me to grow
Don’t let me start to slack
Always think the best of me
I will give you my best back
Always say you love me
Even when I mess things up
Always make time for me
It overflows my cup
Always and forever
I will always be your child
Always I will need you
Will you stay for a while?

Oh my Jean! I did not know that you were also a poet! I love this and I am printing it off for my closet. Where I have notes that remind me how to be human and good to others.
This is good good stuff! Thank you!
