One , two, three sons you gave me
Difficult yes but no one promised it would be easy!
Years have passed and they have grown
The have cluttered up my brain and destructed our home.
Times, you have scared us with your antics wild
Left home returned and left again smiling all the while.
Madcap travels in countries afar, crazy hair and fashions
those damn tattoos are like a scar!
Funny how all those piercings disappeared and all those
mad hair styles never stopped them advancing ( as I had feared)
Illnesses and broken bones all worked on and mended now
you all seem happy in your own homes with partners and friends .
And the youngest of you with memories of a wonderful wedding vow.
So many memories good and deadly bad you have made us happy and made us sad
you have broken our backs and broken our hearts run down dead end paths and had many a new start
Nothing worth having is easy and that is true but my boys we really do love you!
