The Blessings of My Big Family
The blessings of a big family are only seen by a few
A few of the chosen ones that God has given this blessing too.
The blessings are so numerous its hard to even start to
Number or to name them but they all hold a place in the heart.
The heart of every person in my big family is unique its
Uniqueness makes us special and should not be critiqued.
The memories that are made are more precious than
Gold from babies to weddings from young and to old.
From grandparents to grandchildren and everyone in
Between the many special relationships that are built
And could have never been foreseen.
Thank you God for my big family I will treasure through
The good times and bad the memories could not be measured.
Thank you God for birthdays, simple gettogethers and even the tears for
I pray that these blessings last many, many more years.
To have a big family can be a lot of work, not just play but life is too short so
I THANK FOD FOR MY BIG FAMILY TODAY
