Short Swell Up Poems

Why do we need math?
Because it puts us on a narrow path.
Even though it sometimes makes you swell up in wrath.

But when it is used,
It leaves a remarkable trace!...

As they innertwined we became one.
With our hearts combined we concieved our son's.
Now many times since our son's birth's.
Our patience was tried and our tempers the worst.
Yet we knew our hearts would deciepher.
what life had to offer.
We needed only to provide.
And swell up with pride.
For the love we had for our son's....
