LOVELY PAIR TOGETHER
They were lovely girls in the neighborhood
To their family, they stayed pretty good
Learning to trust God --- in faith and in creed
As they shared and cared, showing kindness’ deed.
As daughters of parents, serving as light
They respected Dad and Mom with delight
Regarding them as guardians by their side
Grateful for their protective loving guide.
They are sweet ladies, reared to grow up well
“By the grace of the Lord”* … that’s what they tell…
They are my aunts, beautifully blest
Their childhood photo prods us to do best.
*1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
