Marvin Howard and His Children- Brittany and Jordan
Mechanical genius from several
generations is Marvin’s calling
His ability to repair motorcycles,
motors and cars is enthralling
Grandfathers and father were known
for their gift of repair.
Metal parts in sinc are a true
science valued in times of despair.
The Howard men love the outdoors as
they garden and do chores.
There is certain camaraderie
between them once they close the door
Good jokes, endless tales and much
talk meant only for men to hear
In these special times of bonding,
each generation learns of things dear.
Marvin’s ancestors were good people
providing a fine style to live by
Have good values, charitable ways
and cherish family ties they’d sigh.
The generations taught life long
lessons; there was knowledge to gain-
Nurturing children in a loving way
ensures generational beauty to remain.
The generational torch is for
Marvin to carry as his children grow
Both children love the outdoors
just like their ancestors a century ago,
Ancestors knew of nature’s beauty-
survival skills they must know.
Brittany and Jordan now learn the valuable lessons the outdoors bestows.
