"My Life In Retrospect"

In the year of our Lord 1969

A beautiful newborn child was mine.

I named him Michael and sat in awe

Of the wondrous miracle that I saw.

 
In the year of our Lord 1971

Was born to me my second son.

I named him John and felt twice blest

As they laid him in my arms at rest.

 
In the year of our Lord 1972

My third son came with eyes so blue.

I named him Edward and couldn't believe

The wonder of this angel received.

 
In the year of our Lord 2010

 I would rate these three men

As kind and generous of spirit and heart

In a world of need, they'll do their part.

In the year of our Lord 1944

The little girl my mother bore

Began a journey filled with strife

On a path to the glory of giving life.
