Ode to my wife and family...

Here is a poem that illustrates the beauty, the struggle and the joy that are to be found in one's family.  Life has its thorns to be sure.  Yet the beauty of it is nonetheless unchanged.  God has given us this life and enabled us to experience joy.  Our families are the key source of that joy.

This poem was selected by poetry.com for inclusion in their Eternal Portraits back in 2004.  I never returned their permission form but it was nonetheless selected.  Enjoy.

Ode to my wife and family...


Life as one we'd never have expected.
Life as one we've happiness expected.
Life has options. We have borne and been dejected.
Life is a whirlwind six children have created.
Life is fine and most beautiful when reflected.
