When I was a child,
Life was quite simple.
All hurts were made better,
With a smile and a dimple.
"Mom, he's bothering me!"
Rang through the house.
My brother would run and hide,
Quiet as a mouse.
Dad cane home,
Supper was made.
Eat, talk and share,
Together at home we stayed.
Now I am grown,
With family still close.
I have children of my own,
To love and cherish.
The lessons of love,
Are close to my heart.
To my family,
I will impart. |
