Bloody hell, our families getting big

a poem about my ever growing family

"Bloody hell, our families getting big"

Youngest of a family of seven

3 boys and 4 girls were given

to my parents long ago

this is for them, I thought they should know

Since you've sadly left this place,

now in heaven's peace you grace

I thought you'd like to know

that your family didn't half grow

All your gorgeous grandkids wed

their partners, perfect, has to be said

All happy in their own we way

now with babies on the way!

Three great grandchildren, I'm sure you met

as Max seemed to know the lady in the photo set

his great grandmother, gone before born he was here

yet he kisses her picture and looks at her dear

Now another two wee girls, born months apart

the next generation, making a healthy start

I'm sure you know, there's 2 more on the way

both due in January, though not the same day

So you see our family, it's getting bloody big

So we'll all say cheers, as a drink we swig

and wet these babies heads and cheer

to the safe arrival of the ones not yet here

We'll say isn't this just great,

Mum and Dad would've loved this

Knowing inside you missed nothing

you've been there the whole time

bringing these babies safely into our waiting arms

such an emotional and deep one.

Mum and Dad would've loved this
Knowing inside you missed nothing
you've been there the whole time

this reflects that family is the most precious treasure in person's life. its like a family tree that grows but our grandparents are the roots. commendable!

A lovely piece of family life revealed. And so it starts, the beginning as two has morphed into a lovely, raucous melding of love and chaos. Bloody great, don't you think. Good write, KT
