The Best Times
When I think nostalgically on my life
the period that is most blessed to me
is my first five years after my birth
before school and adulthood I was free
Having been adopted at six weeks
being left alone by my natural mother
so my adoptive parents took me as their own
giving to me my home not to any other
It soon was discovered I had stammer
although mild then but later showed severe
lived quietly in those days keep to myself
these special times remain so very dear
These days were filled with enjoyment
having my own bedroom to sleep and play
living in the countryside grren surroundings
loved the scenery playing around every day
These are lovely memories to look back on
how these formative years shaped my mind
for all the future would bring upon me
giving God thanks for being so kind
