Josh and Jake
Two blue-eyed boys
God’s gift to me
Would steal my heart
For eternity
The oldest is
The serious one
Straight and steady
He gets it done
Finished college
In four years flat
Then married his girl
Just like that
Got a new job
Moved far away
He makes me proud
Everyday
The youngest was
The strong-willed one
With a giving heart
He gets it done
He’s a deep thinker
Likes to debate
Loves all animals
So compassionate
He doesn’t have
It all planned out
But everyday
He makes me proud
Yes, my two sons
God’s gift to me
They stole my heart
For eternity.
