Where have all the children gone?

They have left here one by one.
Never do I see them playing out there in the noonday sun.
Downey heads forever bobbing underneath their mommy's chin
I have loved them oh so dearly since I knew they were within.
Little for a while longer's how I wish they could have stayed   
just so we could be together-Just so we could romp and play.
Missed so many precious moments , graduations , roses given
games, awards, and nightly dinners, hope someday I'll be  forgiven
Memories of trips we've taken, backyard fun and tours with Swayze,
starring roles on high school stages,  touring schools-thoughts never hazy
college, weddings, off to work -two young men went off to war
seeking venues never sought, they're off to see life's open door
Empty nests, a mother's cry. the reason why so oft we pray
hearts that love will always grow – we miss them each and every day
  But…
My consolation up in heaven where I know we all shall be
  is –someday in the noonday sun, my children will return to me.
