Poetry: Family memories

by Frances Ruocco

Created on: March 20, 2007   Last Updated: December 17, 2010

MY LIFE HAS BEEN BLESSED

My life has been blessed by so many things,
Whenever I think of them, my heart sings.
Two loving parents, who always gave their best,
I'm sure I put them through every test.
A sister and three brothers who loved me so,
As I loved them, I'm sure they know.
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.
I think of all of them, trying to see
How many of them have had as much as me.
I've spent so many years asking who,
I can't think of anyone, can you?
