Boys

Boys, oh boys, with boundless glee,

Life’s greatest gifts, you’ll always be,

Boys, oh boys, with boundless glee,

If I should ever by chance forget,

not to tell you this, my biggest regret.

William and Ignatius, bold and true,

With hearts so vast, and dreams to pursue,

Life’s greatest gift, you’ll always be,

With every day, you both will grow,

Learning more than we can ever know.

From William’s mischief to Ignatius’ charm,

In your smiles, you both disarm,

If I should ever by chance forget,

With each adventure, you both embark,

You light up our lives, like a spark.

So, remember this, my dear grandsons two,

No matter where this life takes you,

Not to tell you this, my biggest regret.

In my heart, you will always stay,

My loves, my joys, come what may.

Boys, oh boys, with boundless glee,

In your laughter, in your tears,

Life’s greatest gift, you’ll always be,

In your hopes, and in your fears,

If I should ever by chance forget,

to see the future, bright and grand,

Not to tell you this, my biggest regret.

Hold it in the palm of your hands.
