My boys run around and play
Then come to me and say:
"What can I eat and drink?"
and my heart begins to sink.
So Ben gives me a big grin.
Says, "But look I am so thin!".
"Go away and have some fun
before our time is done".
Ben giggles as he races
to all different kinds of places
and his smile melts my heart,
as it has done from the start.
I know Thomas needs a wee.
It is plain for all to see!
I say, "Don't have an accident.
"It is surely time you went".
But he really is so cute
and he is having such a hoot.
I gaze on him in wonder
that I got to be his mother.
Sam winds up his brothers.
I am glad there are no others!
"Please do be kind and helpful.
Be good and behave well".
I look at my big boy now
and start to marvel how
he got to be so lovely.
A blessing and a joy to me.
I am really truly blessed
and I know I have the best
boys in all the world
and I want it to be heard
That I am thanking God today
and I shout it out and say:
"I love you boys so much
and you really bring such
HAPPINESS to me
and I am blessed to be me".
I was writing a poem called Keep Smiling whilst sat in Chuckles with the boys playing around me. Ben wanted to know what I was doing and I read him a little bit of my poem - he smiled and then asked if I could write one about him playing in Chuckles! And here it is... just a bit of fun ;-)
