Charles Henderson Poet Quatrain

Life's Sweetest Things

The sweetest thing that ever happened to me
Is very easy to determine.
There is a tie though, of two things, you see
alleviating pandemonium.

When I got married was definitely the first
To get my heart a pumping.
But when I first held my babies, each one,
man that was really something. 

I can’t convey the feelings I have inside,
I just don’t know the whys,
Words aren’t adequate to fully describe
why tears just flooded my eyes.
