Sons and Daughters

Uncle Ray! Uncle Ray!
Uncle Ray’s here!
Excited voices,
Greeting my arrival home.

Shouts of my
Nieces and nephews,
Bearing witness to
Their innocence, their love
Filling my heart

Eleven unique, precious souls
Blood of my blood
True individuals
Cherished, loved

Knowing you now
After so many lost years
Giving me more
Than I share with you
Time, wonder, moments

Boys and girls still
But my teachers
Each of you
On how to live my life
Thrilled to share special time
With you
