I Have A Family! !



I have a family

My ancestry a mystery
I was abandoned as a child.
I had no family history.
To which I am now reconciled.

From nursery to children’s home
Until I was adopted by
A couple who made me welcome
With whom I lived quite happily.

They had three children of their own
Who readily accepted me?
An orphan parentage unknown
Addition to their family.

I had three sisters instantly
And better still a mum and Dad.
Who had especially chosen me
to be their only little lad.

I vowed to make them proud of me
I studied hard did well at school.
Then on to university.
I showed the world I was no fool.

I’m a successful businessman
My Family is quite proud of me
which only goes to show you can
overcome successfully.

With the support of family
the problems which you have to face.
To become what you want to
and be a winner in life’s race.

My mum and dad mean more to me
than accolade I may earn.
They fed and clothed and nurtured me
now I support them in my turn

An orphan boy who they took in.
They raised me as their only son
with loving care and discipline
I think I was the lucky one.

They say success is down to me
That I worked to make my way
but we agree to disagree
I love them more than I can say.

this is beautiful Ivor and a fitting tribute to your mum and dad! Anyone can produce children but it takes a lot more to raise them well. A valuable read, thanks for sharing your life with us, Tai
