My Other Three

Dear my other three,

To my loves, those close to my heart

Know nothing makes sense while we are apart.

Together we have seen darkness and tragic fall

Yet hand in hand, united we stand tall.

But there is light and there is grace

Many challenges in life we soon must face.

Together we are strong; together we are bold

My other three, your hearts are pure gold.

Look all around you, my other three

Love surrounds us in our family tree.

No longer shall we fear the dark

For new adventures, we will soon embark.

For family means the most to me

Forever in debt, my love to thee.

Although I must try to the end

My beautiful life with you, I spend.

So finally, I say to my other three

A better family I couldn’t ask of thee.

For all together, we make up four

And love is found right at the core.
