MY LIFE HAS BEEN BLESSED
My life has been blessed by so many things,
Whenever I think of them, my heart sings.

A husband so very strong and true,
There are no words to explain him to you.
Six great children, three and three,
I sit and wonder how they put up with me.
Sisters and brothers-in-law so kind,
I've always been proud to say they are mine,
Aunts and uncles, cousins and friends,
Nieces and nephews, the list never ends.
So many memories full of smiles and tears,
Bringing us closer throughout the years.

New lives begin
And our past is subtle voices or scents
