Pretty Straight forward...I also concurr 63 and 61 should be swapped around. The top is a difference of odd numbers while the bottom a difference of even numbers
 
You're both right, well done. Impressive effort.

but this man's father is my son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man is my fathers son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father is my father's son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's son is my son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's son is my father's son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father's son is my son.

Still a couple remaining unanswered. I'd have thought they were easier than some that have been correctly answered.
