Irish Triplets

My Irish triplets
                                             busy as bee's
                                            two on my lap
                                               one stood
                                             by my knees
                                              Patty cake 
                                              Patty cake
                                            Umpteenth time
                                              My poetry?
                                               A Nursey 
                                                Rhyme!
                                            Diapers, bottles
                                          Burps and toddles
                                          My poets pen was
                                               Set aside
                                           For truly then?
                                        My hands were tied

Thank you Kim! It was nonstop. I look back in amazement. God entrusted me with a lot of supernatural energy from heaven to keep up, that was for certain! They were so adorable.

Though not triplets my three daughters were a handful. They gave me joy and gave my life meaning when life was tough going. God Bless, JB

Children give us a reason to keep on going when things get rough. They are the focal points to lift our gaze from life's battles and celebrate the joys of their precious lives. They are probably always a handful, but a heartful too!! Thank you for stopping by and all your kind words Judy <3

Thank you for reaching out to me on this Andrea, I'm really still pretty new on the soup, I haven't had enough time to really enjoy all the features and I appreciate the help I've had from you and Rama trying to figure this out!

Ok, it's alright, I had fun reliving the memory as I wrote this <3 Memories, fun to visit, and I miss the tiny people they were, it made me rejoice in the memory anyhow. I also am glad they require a bit less of all the energy they required back then, so blessed breath of relief, ah!!! I can write again!

Why don't you soupmail Kai to increase the number of entries. It is an awesome take on theme?

Thanks for the suggestion, I soupmailed Kai. If the reason the contest is no longer available because of a lower entry number. Thank you for your awesome encouragement to my poem. I'm glad you like it :-)
