Women In My Family

Women in my family- mom, sisters-in-law and me Standing tall as robust trees Shading comforts for everybody. They heartily leant at men’s wall Making sure nobody will fall Support kids morally and spiritually Alongside with men, financially. They’re strong to do what most men do Carpentry for mother dear, go…go…go! Sisters-in-law are very supportive Brothers’ ideal wives, best moms to their kids. Women in my family are all evergreen leaves Unfading love from home to relatives- they give.

Hello Len, wow! Your mom is in great shape to repair the roof. I do not blame you for being scared it is normal to feel this way. God bless you my dear friend. Hugs.

We're all doing our best my dear friend Darlene! My mom now 77, despite my refusal does simple repair of our house roof like patching holes /putting seals during the absence of my brothers. She is a better climber than me ha ha but I'm still scared. Thanks a lot for your visit and sharing your precious time to read my work. God bless you always my dear friend. Hugs
