My Children

My children

Year 1974,75 and 77 was the years for me.
That's when I decided to have just my three.
Those three were give to me by our Lord above.
Since the day they were born they've filled my
               heart with joy and love.
When they were born I was in a wheelchair.
    Just to have them I knew life was fair.
 I was as close to them as a mom could be.
    They were my all my wonderful three.
            I have two boys and a girl.
      With those three lifes been a whirl.
Their all grown-up now with kids of their own.
        Now all they do is cry and moan.
They say I'm the best mom and grandmother.
         Cause to them I'm like no other.
                                     Teresa Skyles
