FAMILY
"Why do you have so many children,"
People often ask?
I suppose they really see it
As a pretty awesome task.
But when they ask this question,
We just take it all in stride.
"I guess we're just plain lucky,"
We answer, full of pride.
Each child is someone special...,
All bring blessings of their own.
When others starve from loneliness,
We never feel alone.
It's true, God never blessed us
With fortune or with fame,
But our wealth lies in our family
And the honor of our name.
We all laugh and cry together,
And in unity, we thrive.
We share each other's happiness,
Yet, in sorrow, still survive.
So, if fortune should forsake us,
And when funds seem all too slim,
It's the love of a man's family
that sustains the soul within.
