 <\/p>\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My first love\u2014<\/p>\n

In a pair of eager hands:<\/p>\n

So tiny,<\/p>\n

So fragile,<\/p>\n

Clinging tightly to my own.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My second love\u2014<\/p>\n

In a pair of innocent eyes:<\/p>\n

So trusting,<\/p>\n

So blue,<\/p>\n

Bluer than the cerulean skies.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My third love\u2014<\/p>\n

In a pair of little feet:<\/p>\n

Always running,<\/p>\n

Always moving,<\/p>\n

Always following after me.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My Elizabeth\u2014<\/p>\n

In a very studious boy:<\/p>\n

Always reading,<\/p>\n

Always learning,<\/p>\n

Always seeking for the truth.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My Inger\u2014<\/p>\n

In a boy\u2019s gentle arms:<\/p>\n

So careful,<\/p>\n

So tender,<\/p>\n

Nurturing animals and man.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I saw her again<\/p>\n

\u2014My Marie\u2014<\/p>\n

In a very angry boy:<\/p>\n

Eyes blazing,<\/p>\n

Fists clenching,<\/p>\n

Brow thunderous with wrath.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I see them again<\/p>\n

\u2014My three loves\u2014<\/p>\n

In the faces of our sons:<\/p>\n

Hard working,<\/p>\n

Every loving,<\/p>\n

Always doing what is right.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I see them again<\/p>\n

\u2014My three wives\u2014<\/p>\n

In the sons they gave to me:<\/p>\n

All different,<\/p>\n

All special,<\/p>\n

Part of them and part of me.<\/p>\n

\n

*<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ll see them again<\/p>\n

\u2014My three loves\u2014<\/p>\n

God willing, let it be:<\/p>\n

In small boys,<\/p>\n

And small girls,<\/p>\n

Grandchildren yet to be.<\/p>\n
