First-born in the family You grew from boy to man. College and the Army Were soon part of the plan. Marriage and two children Beginning steppingstones Into your future Filled with many unknowns. This chapter in your life Was played out in time. A father with two boys Creating a new story line. A new-found family came your way Adding a girl and boy.
