My 4 Sons

You are the swell of my pride
My sunny sky
What motivates me day and night
Without you my life would be crusty and dry

Your my Peter Pan, my Robin Hood
My wish upon a star so true
You made this Little Engine know that she could
I would forfeit my very breath for you!

My beautiful boys
How you've filled my life with joy
You tower above me like trees
And for your happiness I fall to my knees

Who am I kidding 
No rhyme could define
The priceless treasure you are
Bestowed on me a gift divine

Your the reason for my laughter
Our couch and all the tears
The cause of my slimming wallet 
And my empty Frigidaire

You have my emotional nature 
Your fathers amazing eyes
The hazel of brown, green and blue
The glorious combination in each one of you

Never forget that your our legacy
Your a Romani gypsy tried and true
Like white to rice hold fast to your litany
And stick to each other like glue

How fun were the zip lines and waterfalls
The amusement parks the many games with balls
I wouldn't have missed them for the world 
Though in my house of all you men
 I was the only frazzled girl

I cherish all our drama
Our talks for hours long
Most of all my dear and precious sons
 Know this....

You are my heroes as the day is long!
