The Juani & Bonnie Family

Juani, the father, whose patriotism is strong,
Can sacrifice all for everyone in the family to belong.
For Bonnie, his wife and constant delight,
A chef extraordinaire, her reminders are just right.

Kuku, the eldest, who exudes in beauty and grace,
A melody maker, so gentle as shown in her face.
Caring for her siblings, a dedicated student so true,
She gives her all for the dreams she pursue.

Maty, the second, stands tall with actions so bold,
Quick to ignite, but always have a heart of gold.
He cooks with a passion like a chemist in bloom,
Serious in academe and one who strives to dispel the gloom.

Marx, the sweet third is a charmer as what others say,
But house chores and schooling are sometimes pushed away.
He is the family's "Yes Man" with a smile so light,
Though lessons may slide, his future looks bright.

Choi, the youngest is with a mind sharp and keen,
Math is his passion, the problems solved without a scene.
Good grades come easy even with minimal strife,
But correction's seems hard to embrace in his life.

With the couple to gravitate them all,
Is a family united and ready to stand tall.
Together they stand, in Juani & Bonnie's embrace,
Love, laughter, and lessons, as they walk in God's Grace.
