Family Ties

I was privileged to be a part

Of something almost now extinct

These days I feel it might be best

But it's sad too, I think

There were seven of us kids

Born to Mom and Dad

We had to be a headache

But if we were, they never said

There was always someone to play with

And though we had no store bought toys

I believe that we had more fun

Than the richest girls and boys

Mom and Dad provided us

With lots of love and care

They taught us how to treat other folks

And to be honest and be fair

And even though we're older now

We still find our ways

Of getting together when we can

And recall "The Good Ole Days"
