Two Boys

In January of 2010, I became an aunt for the first time.  My second nephew was born in November of 2011, and this year, we found out my third nephew will be born.  I was digging through some old poems, and found this one, dated November 20th, 2014.

Two silly little boys are they --

The boys that live in the house of gray.

The boys with smiles oh-so-wide --

The boys with whom time seems to fly.

They grow older, day by day,

And always for them will I pray --

"Dear Lord, just now guide their way";

Yes, this is how I'll always pray.

Seasons pass and years go by --

My, how time seems to fly!

I'd hoped they'd stay small always,

But they seem to grow with each new day.

Two growing little boys are they --

The boys that live in the house of gray.

Once little boys there did play,

But now big boys live in that house of gray.

Dedicated to Benjamin and Trevor <3
