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...
