POEM: Family Jewels, A Quatern

This was produced for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge.  Our topic this week is open, but the format, the Quatern, is a bit challenging.

FAMILY JEWELS

Family means the world to me;
A loving wife and daughters three.
All four grandboys are very dear
I hope my love for them is clear.

While sometimes I wish I was free,
family means the world to me.
Daughters’ children are my grandsons
fun even when they act like Huns.

The youngest daily does surprise,
though much too young to realize
family means the world to me
or that in him myself I see.

Older brother the math marvel,
bonafide genius larval.
Pray both as adults I get to see.
Family means the world to me.
