Bones and his beautiful Griselda
didn’t spend their nights
twiddling their thumbs
and looking at each other.  

No, not hardly.  

Their union was blessed
four times with children
of the most beautiful sort.  

They had two lovely and gentle girls,
and two tough, and handsome boys,
one adopted and brown,
and one natural and white.  

Their kids spread themselves
all over the world,
all the way from Yokohama
to the shores of Florida,
giving Bones and Griselda
four beautiful grandchildren
that come in all colors.  

All those kids are as tough as nails,
just like their Grandparents.  

You better believe it.
You can take that to the bank.  

Bobby

I'm so glad Bones found happiness in his family and I'm sure he'll be a powerful positive influence on his grandchildren.

If anyone can teach them how to survive the jungle of the streets then Bones can.

In these lonely halls no moon will weep, no sun will shine.
In these narrow rooms no tears are seen, no laughter heard!

What a blessing children are...no matter how God gives them to us.

I always say to anyone having a baby- if you don't believe in love at first sight, you will.

Thanks dear Angellea,

Yes, children are blessing, and like you say, it doesn't matter how they come into your family.  One way is as good as another.

People should adopt, and then learn to love more kids.  There are so many that need help.

Bobby
