My Three Siblings and I
Blessed with God’s wondrous goodness
my three siblings and I* were privileged
to bask in our parents’ graciousness
gladly we indeed acknowledged.
Love prevailed in all corners of our home
may it be North, East, South or West*
securing us well inside haven-dome
where we share family bonding zest.
As kids, we engaged in partnership games
with toys of various shapes like square* forming
along favorite colors and their names
of blue, white, red, yellow** … so heart-warming.
Nurtured to be musically inclined
we sang together joyful choruses
since the Lord has us beauteously designed
into grand quartet*of blended voices.
With less than five* decades of fellowship
midst bliss-filled family extension pacts
we siblings keep in us our warm kinship
thanking God for His marvelous*** acts.
*Word bears or phrases bare the essence of four (4).
**The four colors of our Flag as a nation.
***Revelation 15:3 … Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
