Among a rare blended family

This poem is dedicated to all couples who remarried,
with their kids having a stepmother and step father
The glow of the setting sun sparkles
Glimmering rays on the valley of Kewamugl
At the western end the setting sun glows
As I descended from Mount Mondia
I caught the full glimpse of the spectrum
The clouds on Mount Oho split
A thick shower of golden hail falls
And clenched still on mom’s chest
You build your kingdom
Along this splendid plateau
Your glistering appearance
Comes from above where no eye can reach
For you are carved with the finest blade
From good earth to heaven
A place demanding of your handsomeness
The rays of the sun are part of you
The flash of lightning your personality
The rainbow spectrum shows your quality
The sprinkle of rain is your shower of blessing
The attributes of nature are on your side
The sight of my eyes
Elevates you to higher dimension
The words of my mouth full of love
As a sign of the infinite blessing
That will reign over your life
The distance may separate
But my heart will not depart
Since you are my illumination
Whom I will treasurer most
Your blessing is the word from your uncle
It could be Waine, Jeffery, Gabriel
Bobby, Raphael, sons of optimistic couple
But my blessing is of no discrimination
For it is a symbol of unity
Among a rare blended family
