Family Poem

2000

Another year gone by, my how the time does fly.

This year was great, we had some fun,

The kids are keeping us on the run.



Jason turned 5, he is no more a little tyke,

He can now tie his shoes and ride his bike.

He lost two teeth, under his pillow they went,

The tooth fairy lives on, the money is already spent.

Gameboy, and Chuckee cheese, these are his favorite things,

And riding his scooter, and swinging on swings.

And playing with Kevin, we must not forget,

And playing soccer and swimming, and jumping on the trampoline net.



Kevin is almost 3, and out of diapers…WHOPEE!!!

He keeps up with his brother, but wears out his mother.

Kevin likes to paint, and play Batman with his friends,

When Kevin is in the room, the activity never ends.

He is very cuddly, and smart you can bet,

He’s the cutest kid I have ever met.



Next is Bruce, what news can I tell,

We went diving this year, in Pulau and Cozumel.

It’s been twenty years since Bruce left Bucknell,

He went to the reunion, so many stories he could tell.

About his exciting life, painting doors and putting in a skylight,

And reading bedtime stories, and being woken up at night.

Yes the life of a dad is full of adventure and fun,

Bubble baths and playing catch, will we ever be done?



Now it’s my turn, to tell of my year,

I have not accomplished a lot, let me make that clear.

I worked a little, and played with the kids,

I wrote some poems, and some art work I did.

Volunteer in the classroom, swimming lessons and more,

I’m a soccer mom now, that’s for sure.



We want you to know, that all through the year,

We think of our friends, and wish you were near.

So Happy Holidays to all, and to avoid another election this bad,

When you vote next time, poke out the whole chad!



And don’t forget to call if your on the west coast!
