A Wonderful Family

A Wonderful Family

by Bud Lemire on Oct 15, 2003

There within the household, a family became anew

When it grew to three, where there once was two

The man had traveled far, from his place of birth

Searching for his place in life, and what his life was worth

There was a Mother, and her daughter who lived there

And they had a lot of love, that they wished to share

They had a kitty cat, that loved to watch the birds

This man came into their lives, who mastered poetic words

The daughter loved to watch TV, every day and night

The Mother worked hard, because the cost of living was so tight

The man searched for a place, where he would belong

While his search continued, he shared with them his song

The daughter was spoiled, but only in a good way

The Mother returned from work, exhausted everyday

This man who traveled far, searched for meaning in this place

He tried to understand, the people behind the face

The daughter asked for plenty, because that was her part

The Mother gave so very much, with all of her heart

The man was alone too long, he had a lot of love to spare

And he found within this family, a lot of love to share

As time went on, the man learned about family life

When he became a husband, and the Mother became his wife

They learned from each other, about what a family should be

And the love between the three of them, built A Wonderful Family
