Family is Home

When the children have returned

life is in a place to be remembered

while our lives have become we learned

a bit wiser if not a tad more pressured

~

We know that the children are home again,

we have peace and know our love is real,

we dance to see their smiles; we do believe in

their ability to survive and remain the real deal

~

When our child returns to our home grateful,

when smiles are real and healthy grins abound

we can laugh together, be gracious and thankful

our lives are simplified by love being tossed around.

~

When suddenly our lives have become our own release

from the shackles of childhood, we now maintain the peace.
