Greatest Joy

You and your sister are my greatest joy, 
I am blessed that you both are in my life. 
watching you two grow is what I enjoy, 
I must say our home was not free of strife. 

Our family loves each other so much, 
we are not perfect at all, we fall short; 
So, it’s crucial that we embrace God’s touch. 
In times of conflict, we all showed support. 

I'm grateful son, for you both every day, 
you guys make me happy to be called mom. 
A blessed and fruitful life is what I pray 
for you and your sister; I recall your Prom. 

My heart’s full as I pen this heartfelt write, 
I fill in my soul that your futures look bright

All this is beautiful, the true love of a mom poured unto your children, in this for your kids in seeing the love within their mom is a greater love than in this world: ).

two very lucky children, they grow up so fast, as do grandchildren, the best thing is all they ever ask is to be loved...

A mother's heart is always with her children. If the children can reciprocate the mother's love, the home will remain a blessed home. I am sure your children give you so much of joy. May God let your relationship grow and strengthen each day ! Beautiful poem dear Alexis.
