Blood bound Love strung

Thwack!

Infant son on lap

Metes a friendly blow to face

I smile

He smiles

Let filial joy

Wash over us

Toddler daughter all up in TV’s face

Singing and jiving

To whatever’s on

She’s in a happy place

Wife ...

Now that's a beautiful light

That turned a dour fate

Into a marvelous thing

The kids would know

We would lend them wisdom

In due course

That this joy can’t be bought

Family.
