Five
“A life worth living”
“Five”
Grew up as a second child
Never raised the leader till the wild
Born a five and raised a twelve
May have given my parents a little ‘ell
My inner Aries is worn proud
Whenever I have my Capricorn ‘round
Sagittarius can be quelled
Just find another five to wrap around
I’m glad to have my four young men
Independent
Courageous
Trustworthy
and Witty are my kids
If it weren’t for them, I’d maybe have
Five other close friends
Three generations have served now
and I could see one of my children
Fly around maybe sail a ship
Or even translate really well,
Would rather see them go to college
and such, honestly just to see them
Follow their dreams while growing up.
