My Boys

My boys are the best of me
Youth at its finest all three

Bound to a broken family
Ornery yet full of God’s grace
You know they are mine looking at their face
So much pride and joy they bring to me.

Lovely....and yes they do grow up before we can turn around. I always loved Jimmy Buffet's song, "I heard I was back in town"....and when you used the word ornery that brought his song to mind..So thank you...
