family fun

we are each one of five
buzzing like bees at the hive

running all around
we barely touch the ground

chewing mom’s cut-up cantaloupe
prancing ’round like antelope

when there’s the whole lot of us
it can feel like we’re riding the bus

we don’t always get along
but our bond remains ironclad strong

we don’t always speak a kind word
but we do make sure i’m sorry is heard

gentle and kind
keep it in mind

say dad and mum
especially when we’re glum

every day we grow inside and up
just like london our pup

God’s light shining bright
every day a delight
