I started writing this poem about my parents several years ago but finished it last year before Valentines Day. They are still going strong and continue to share their lives with their children, 34 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren.
Lives
by Lou Sciaroni

When I Think About My Parents
I think of their two LIVES
The willingness to accept Gods gifts
No matter what the size
The L is for the Love they showed
Not always hugs and kisses
But it was always in the house
Those there could not have missed it
The I is for Ideals
In us helped to instill
A solid Catholic faith
That’s resounding with me still
And after 50 years of marriage
The V is for Vocation
If everyone stuck to theirs like that
We’d be a better nation
The E is for the Eleven children
That they welcomed with their faith
That God would help them to provide
Protect, and keep them safe
The S is for the Sacrifice
That still is being made
For without their endless giving
No foundation could have been laid
So I thank God for these LIVES
That he put upon this earth
And joined them both together
Who welcomed in my birth
