Hey Kids, You're the Best!

See Author's Notes below


So proud am I of all my loving children with big hearts
Their kindness to humanity; a sum of all their parts

As children, they were curious and still are to this day
Determined to investigate this world to find their way

And with a sense of humor they can always make us laugh
For in our home there's openness, no matter who may gaffe

They've always been accepting to new changes in this life
Forgiving almost anyone who may have caused them strife

With gratitude of life's good fruits for which they've been bestowed
They only want for justice to all those with heavy load

Devotion in our family is what they long to keep
Steadfast in this belief - it's number one; this runs so deep

With gentleness, they hold each other up when times get tough
Mom loves them. They're so generous. Can't brag of them enough!
