It's a humble path
that I have traveled,
no great accomplisments
or accolades follow my name.
But I have three children
that stomp their way through this life,
and through them
my mark is made.
My oldest son,
so handsome, so brave,
he has the sweetest nature
that makes you feel so special
just by being there.
My second son,
a rambunctious one,
wild & adventurous,
he makes for no lazy days.
My youngest babe,
a beautiful daughter,
whose doe-eyed gaze
enchants the toughest of hearts.
My name may not grace history books,
but my community will know me
through these wonderful children
that I have raised.
