Children

Everything in life Came easy to me. That all changed When I got my own family. Dirty diapers, late night feedings & so much crying. It was spiritually, mentally & physically trying. I'd do it all again That was the best time Of my life. I was a husband, a father With kids & a wife. It felt good to hold my child He always smiled, when I did. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. Damn I love that kid. I spoiled him rotten He was my pride & joy. Then God & my wife blessed me again She bore me another boy. My wife enjoyed watching me Play with my sons. She said, you are a terrible hubby But as a dad, you're number one. She already had children Before we met. I raised them as my own I love them all, I have no regrets. I'd pray every night Thanking God for blessing me. With this beautiful wife & My perfect family. Her (our) daughter is so bright. She's gifted, smart. She has a beautiful spirit She has her mother's caring heart. Her (our) oldest son is a Mama's Boy & that ain't a bad thing. Mess with his mama & watch the drama he would bring. Her (our) middle child Is cool & laid back. He's going to be a heart breaker That is a fact. Her (our) younger child He is so smart & oh so clever. He has a special place In my heart, I'll cherish him forever. Her (our) youngest child Is always happy, like he's floating on a cloud He's always doing something, to make his mother & I proud. My (our) oldest daughter Is an adult, with children of her own. We (I) wasn't there for her She had to do it alone. I miss all my children dearly This is a pain I didn't know that could exist. It hurts to longer be with them. My life was perfect when I was with them Believe me they are missed. This separation from them Is unbareable as hell. I hope & pray each night That my children are doing well. Whatever wrong I did to deserve this I know I had to have overpaid that debt. This as low as I ever been To lose my children is my biggest regret. I try to move forward But it's hard to stand tall. LaToya, Buffie, Jaloni, Larry, Jimmy & Joshua I LOVE YOU ALL.
