Speak gently; it is better far
To rule by love than fear;
Speak genty; let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here.

Speak gently; love doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently friendship accents flow
Affection’s voice is kind.

Speak gently to the little child,
It’s love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accent soft and mild;
It may not long remain.

Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not to the careworn heart,
The sands of life are nearly run:
Let such in peace depart.

Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough o bear;
Pass trough this life as they may
‘Tis full of anxious care.

For I look forward to
The coming years
On how my life will be
Spent with him…

To be his loving mother,
His kind sister.
And his bestfriend!
