An Acrostic poem
~CHILDREN~
Chubby cheeks when they are born,
Handfulls at two and three,
In the years to come they grow so fast,
Loving them, we set them free...
Daring and dashing on their own,
Reckless in love as can be
Engagement, marriage, they become
New parents of cheeks so chubby
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
