Sunshine and Rainbows

Childhood days of long ago, were sunny. I seldom had a reason for a tear. If sadness should come unexpectedly, Strong, loving arms of comfort would be near. Welcomed after a quartet of loved sons, I was my parent’s long awaited girl. They and my four brothers doted on me. Life was the fabled oyster, I the pearl. Sheltered as I was from life’s disasters, When even my young brothers did their part To show me the beauty all around me, I could not help but grow a happy heart. Though sadness has accosted me at times, My happy heart has softened it with rhymes. Written: May 23,2012 Theme (2) “Happy Heart”

Yow, what a wonderful childhood, and your expression of it is phenomenal! Congrats on your win! Actually instead od saying robotic repeats- let me say this: there are not too many people who had sauch a wonderful childhood as yours, except perhaps my own mother. Those big brothers of hers really watched out for her and her parents were doting and loving as yours are (were?)
