Haiku On My Family

Almost fifteen years
Ago, two souls found their mate,
And merged into one

This produced a child
One good year later
And they named this girl

Ashley, to rhyme with
Their last name, Hensley. So now
Thirteen years later,

It is clear how each
Have their own special talent
That they all acquire:

The father, with his
Problem solving and building
Skills that he obtains

The mother, with her
Gardening and cooking and all
Else she does at home

And lastly, the girl
With her ways of words that are 
Unique, but as known,

Everyone is their 
Own person, and nobody
Can change that small fact.
