My Sons
(to Brian & Michael)

my sons are incredible men
and I shall adore you till my end
at the moment of your birth
defined the meaning of my worth
you were a gift to myself I gave
and every precious moment save
in your faces I look with pride
as you choose the paths you decide
I admire who you both are
surpassing my expectations by far
even when we disagree
you are still a part of me
deep within this mother’s stake
you….I shall never forsake
what a joy to my life you bring
attached to my heart, each holds a string

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

Yes our sons are young men,
That we have raise'd in our den.
I am also just as proud,
To the highest mountain I'll yell out loud.
For the job that you and i have done,
I know that we have won.
So along with the string they have in your heart,
Grown now, of us we gave them the best part.

A Thank-you for the ode to our Sons.....
I Love You
Bernie
