My children, my children,
my jewels of my heart.
Time, death, and distance
will ne’er long us part.

For a second there, I thought you were going to riff on the “Beans, Beans” poem.

I like it. My edit, if I may be so bold: …the jewels of my heart….ne’er long will us part. Are you familiar with the Emmylou Harris song, Calling My Children Home? Lovely song, and especially apt in my (older) stage of life, when they have left home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpzK-c9Jxeg
