Part 1
I swear I dropped in on a breezy day.
The stork was surely blown off course.
For many hours I pondered whether I’d stay,
thinking people here were very coarse.
But soon, another child dropped in.
Thinking to myself,” Now that is a sin”,
and then two more; I just had to grin,
we huddled together through thick and thin.
Two lassies and one lad became kinfolk.
With our parents, who were on an inside joke.
Then each went our merry ways, very broke.
While over the long years, we barely spoke.
Part II
A man of seventy-two, family is my everything.
Securely bonded to a fantastic wife for forty years.
We have leaped over hurdles starting on a shoestring.
Enjoying far more joys than we have had tears.
God blessed us with three really cool kids,
without many overwhelming “Father forbids.”
Mother made home safe with landing skids,
making the study the rule to be whiz kids.
Season after season, our family has grown.
Grandchildren, we scored from seeds sown,
Not just one, but now we have eight … known.
If we had one more, be sure, we would not moan.
-----------------------------------------------------------
My family part one, many a lesson was learned,
… Most important, tough beginnings can be turned.
… Love your kids unconditionally, love will be returned!
… Family is something that should never be adjourned.
