My Life
My wife I met when yet a child
We grew up together
And now grow old the same way.
Though I am still a child.
My sons, myself,
in better form
my daughter. my daughter, my daughter,
She, oh, she, o she,
is all the better part of me.
My son-in-law,
my daughter’s love,
is like my sons to me
My daughters-in-law,
all three, each one, every one of them
is like my own.
And the grands.
all nine,
eight born
one yet in the womb,
Well, Dear God,
the grands.
These people are My Life,
My Church,
My Great-Keep.
The rest of humankind,
can only visit here;
feel the faith;
be soothed by the calm,
then be gone,
while my life, my life, my saved, happy life,
is here in this sacred place.
