A Poem About My Boys - Writers Workshop

I’m a newbie that has wanted to participate in Mama’a Losin’ It, Writer’s Workshop for a while now, but simply forgot every week to do it and each and every week that I forgot I would say I would do it the next, so finally, I did it!

I choose #3 and wrote a poem for the little boy in my life, actually I wrote it about all the boys in my life! Enjoy…

My life of boys began with just one
The perfect love that was second to none
The day we married our young life begun
By saying our vows under the mid day sun

Life that began as two soon became three
God would bless us with our first son to be
So tiny and small with the cutest knobby knees
He was perfect in everyway we both agreed

Our life of three would soon be a life of four
A second son on the way how our hearts soared
Quickly he came and we simply couldn’t ignore
Another perfect son that we so adored

Life was great and as busy as it could get
Oh no, WHAT, I think I need to sit
Our life of four I soon will forget
Another son is coming, I hope we make it

Our third son arrived, so cute and so small
A perfect preemie we would say to all
A tiny baby that could loudly squall
Quickly the sounds turned into crawls

How quickly we turned into a family of five
Day by day I prayed we’d survive
I begged and pleaded and loudly I cried
The writings on the wall, the day it arrived

All smiles I was, not able to contain my joy
My hubby growled at me, he was very annoyed
It was a day I look forward to and enjoyed
A vasectomy would ensure no more boys
