My Daughters

Grown up at last.
 Now I can bask
 in their reflected glory.
 But what a story.
 Three little beauties,
 with brains to match.
 Not such a task,
 with help from Shaun.
 They all get along.
 It's easy to tell.
 We both did swell.

Arthur Vaso Date: 8/26/2016 6:11:00 PM Their beauty is , well obvious, but I dare say with brains and a mother as you, well the beauty is by far more than skin deep! :) Lovely dedication, you just be so proud!

Took me an hour just to get that right! Jean Murray Date: 8/26/2016 6:21:00 PM Beauty is only sin deep Arthur. Still, your lovely compliment to me did not go unnoticed. I blush. Jean Murray Date: 8/26/2016 6:19:00 PM Out of 600 possible points in the final secondary school exams, our eldest brainy box got 535. Then the second one surprised us all with 540. One of the big differances is, they can all spell 100% better than me Arthur.

Just James Date: 8/26/2016 2:16:00 PM Stunning..nice write too! Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/26/2016 3:11:00 PM Your day will come James. My baby is twenty now. When babies are born, I tell the mothers it's the first twenty years you have to worry about. Funny but true.

Eve Roper Date: 8/25/2016 8:20:00 PM 1- they are gorgeous - 2 great bio - children just won't stay small , then when their all grown up we want to stump our feet and say do what I say, and they refuse to listen, like mine. Hugs Eve Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/26/2016 3:47:00 AM Lucky you Eve, mine neved did what they were told. In the end, I tidied up for them all as it took less energy. To this day, one will say she doesn't know how to load a dishwasher, and another does not know how to handwash garments. So they say.....

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 8/24/2016 6:32:00 PM OMG, they are gorgeous! I read your poem and didn't see you had posted a photo of them because it takes a bit to download on my kindle. How lovely they are and no wonder you are such a proud mom! ; ) Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/25/2016 1:34:00 AM Above average in that department I admit Connie. Now.....I wonder how??

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 8/24/2016 6:28:00 PM This is so sweet Jean. I have three daughters too. They get along great though their ages differ greatly. I enjoyed your poem and I know just how you feel. : ) 7 Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/25/2016 1:33:00 AM A job well done Connie? A boy would have been a strange creature in comparison I know you'll know.

Daniel Turner Date: 8/24/2016 6:26:00 PM Fast is not the word. Overnight, more like it. You have a lovely family Jean. I know they're as proud of you as you are them. Enjoyed the read. It made me smile:) Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/25/2016 1:31:00 AM Thank you Daniel. I am a little more embarrassing than the run of the mill embarrassing mum, but they are used to me now.

Jan Allison Date: 8/24/2016 5:11:00 PM a trio of absolute beauties Jean - you must be so so proud of them all:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/24/2016 6:20:00 PM I cannot find the words Jan. Just looking at their beautiful faces there brings me back to their childhood faces and reminds me of the ties that bind.

Tim Smith Date: 8/24/2016 4:49:00 PM They grow up so fast Jean. I wish them the best in all they do. Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 8/24/2016 4:55:00 PM Thank you Tim. It takes a little adjusement at this time each year, when they leave to resume their studies.
