My Children

My children are my life My reason to survive They are each so distinct And very special to me; Kyle who is the youngest I will forever cherish His laughter and his smile, Is contagious after a while; Kassandra, my little girly She is just too pretty And with the brains to go with Her beauty can’t be missed; Michael, the oldest of mine Came along just in time He possesses intelligence, That is rare at first glance But once he starts to tell all He will baffle your mind with awe; Little David, who at the age of eight Was placed upon my life’s’ plate A mix of emotions is he A sense of humor which is unique A heart that is full of feeling But there is a wall he keeps building; Little Christina was only nine When we met the first time So angelic and sweet she was, Definitely not hard to love Today she is basically the same Except when hormones come to play; And Drake, although not mine I will love for all time To me he is the same As the ones that I have named; These are my children, Each special to me They are my life And my responsibility I’ve given an oath And will do my best To make sure they will be raised To be better than the rest
