Blood Brothers

My children mean more than the world to me
Molding little men into what they could become

Each day brings with it fresh kisses
Not one one them Mommy misses

Challenges met, some old, some new
Pictures reminding us how much they grew

As hard as each day can seem
Patience is a virtue, helping redeem

Wanting what all parents want for their kids
Teaching and learning underneath their lids

To be smart and strong and ever so kind
Brothers united, forever blood, their bind

Not all brothers connect the same way
Puzzle pieces teaching each other what's right to say

Somethings are easier to learn than others
Only time will tell if they can love each other as brothers

I have 4 children Shannon, 3 boys and Rebekah, and thankfully they all get on. Mind you having a 6' 2" Highlander making sure they has certainly helped them bond with respect. Fine poetry here about your boys - have a lovely weekend :)
