Memories of Our Parents' House
Good memories of our parents and grandparents,
I thank them for the blessed years with them.
i remember when my sons Kirk and Erik and mom came to live here,
I would drive my children and my little sister Antje to school.
I had a turquoise car, an outdated Chrysler model,
Then I would bring them back home to the big old house.
Help the children with their homework,now Kirk is a Civil Engineer,
His brother Erik became a Chartered Account.
They both graduated from university,
Their parents are very proud of them,
I resumed my studies at York University,
And have an equivalent B. A in Arts and Education.
Even though Walter, their father was divorced from me.
We had happy years of marriage with our sons at the beautiful house,
My sons married, Kirk married the beautiful Jenn at a Muskoka wedding
Erik married the pretty Lisette , they had a Hawaiin wedding that was very
nice,
We had an Elvis Presley house across the road, very enhanced and beautiful.
They rebuit our parents house and I found their house on the computer.
Good memories of the big old house where we lived and played together,
Went on picnics at the Jack Darling Park and tossed the frisbee.
i thank God for guiding and keeping us safe,
Good memories with our paents and grandparents.
