† 20 years it has been
How life’s wheel is fast in its spins
Now a new journey begins
I now have a family and two lovely twins
One Marie and carol
How kind GOD has been
To grant me a life like this
As years of happy bliss
Went on with my beloved miss
With poems that will overly exist
Will resist the winds and persist
Surrounded with other poems in midst
And mine’s on the long list
† Poems of hundreds even thousands
I had them on my library shelf
Whenever I see them I behold to myself
Of the greatness and kindness God gifted me
Talents wider and borderless like the sea
Where my pen will spring so free
Leaving me in a great glee
† Years went on a bit more
My girls reached to the college door
With marks of top high score
Suddenly a talent in them began to soar
Marie became a painter
And Carol became a pianist
What could I ask for more?
With a wife so loyal and honest
Loving me on and on
She a teacher in school
And I poet and college lecturer with a pen in hand
We got no wounds to mend
† Night shifted into day
We were always happy and gay
My joy got way wild
A fine girl emerge from a little child
We laughed jiggled and smiled
Fine princess I asked for one
HE gave me two
I asked for poems
He gave a magical pen too
I asked for dreams
He made them all come true
† Daddy, daddy she came flashing home
With her golden comb
Guess what we had today:
“Remember your poem ‘Always pray’
You told me your wrote it one day
We had to study it for the rest of the day
You name has fame
And I don’t know
You name finely in glow
Hidden though
You a poet that’s what I know
The teacher asked who the writer is
And I answered he’s my daddy
How could I miss

That was really good, and I usually don't say that about poetry. Mostly because I'm too ignorant to understand it, but I liked it. I thought it was cute. There are a couple times when you say "you" when I think you mean "your" and vice versa. Thanks for the read.
