I Am Grateful

Grateful am I for each member of my family & the joy they bring to me.  As I  
Receive love, I become a lit lantern from inside.  My vessel heart is  
Appreciative of the time we spend on the front porch of life. We care, we love,        
Through good times and bad.  
Each one of them holds a special place in my soul.  Tied by the fulcrum of 
Family life,  together we share in this journey we call life, bringing to the table  
Understanding, wisdom and unconditional love.  We know where we belong and  
Loyalty is the main ingredient when it comes to family meets.

Family, a radiant matriculate receptacle group deemed love supreme
Only blood can chord us this way and join us at the seams.  
Respecting each other we learn to create a safe atmosphere   

Motherly pride builds up in me when I gather my little ducklings at my doorstep.  
Yoctoseconds, we are a group of eight, Fadder Madder, and eight little wee ones 

Family fun, an every day experience at the Jonesseys we are glad that 
Angels live within our compound.  
Magical moments magnified, each time we amalgamate 
Inside our wooden cabin, made for familial co-existence . 
Loyalty, not found in a lost and found box, in our cozy home it is    
Yesterday's offering, today's sweet parcel, and tomorrows devotional gift of LOVE
