A Story of a Family

Once upon a time a family

 of 3 sisters and 2 brothers

that mostly got along  fine.

from the time they could crawl

together they always seem laugh and have a ball.

these brothers and sisters always stuck up 

for one other but really just loved

one other most of all.

But as the years flew by mom and dad

wave to each a good bye

as they married off there children  one by one.

And before they knew

there was grandkids that came along

more than a few.

Life seem good for this family hood

they liked  going on picnics and fishing,

plus they had a little farm 

with a cow or two in there barn.

what else could this family ask for,

but God blessing ever more.

One day it seemed like in a flash

mom and daddy started to get old.

 the three sister and brothers

became there parents care takers

which for them it seem to carry a load.

these bothers and sister started 

arguing over small stuff 

they became very sad and in there family

for a time it got really rough.

First daddy passed away then 6 years later

mama heart seem to be giving out

so theses brothers and sisters waited

and cried and prayed there mama would

not pass away.

Once upon a time

there was a family of 2 plus 5

and it all started in 1945
