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.
