The Daughtrys

A unique family, hard to find
Committed to each other, gentle and kind.
Wholesome, sincere, holy,
Nutritionally sound, naturally, organically, solely.

Doug
A man of quiet spirit and a ready smile,
Teaching his family, making life worthwhile.
Helping his wife with the chores,
Talking gently to his boys.
A perfect relationship prevails,
With loving discipline, which never fails.
A busy executive is he, 
But God and his family are his priorities.

Jane-Ann
A beautiful mother with grace from above,
Tenderly cares for her children with love.
Patient and gentle in every way,
They'll arise and call her "Blessed" some day.

A loving wife, talented too,
Smocking, baking bread, many things to do.
Never complains, busy as a bee,
Welcome hubby home, glad for his company.

A cherished friend reaching out to me,
Sharing my burdens faithfully.
Never too busy to lend a listening ear,
Ever ready to offer up a prayer.

Joel
A quiet young man in a quaint friendly way,
Shows you that he cares, listens to what you say.
He has lots of talent too,
And busily goes about demonstrating it to you.

Peter
A handsome young rascal, with big smiling eyes,
Has a mind of his own, but he's quite a prize!

David
A bundle of joy, so cuddly and sweet,
What a precious little boy, just can't be beat.
