Families

They are delighted,
in love, sleepless, exhausted.
New baby at home!

They're head over heels.
Precious fairy baby brings
sunshine, light, hope, joy!

…

Arrived safe and sound, 
new child in the family.
Joy, and sleepless nights.

Baby makes them smile.
Tiny creature in huge world.
Baby makes them cry.

…

Fortunate childhood,
marvel, wonder, questions, joy.
Fun hullabaloo!

Hot day, popsicles. 
Sweet, fun, like a good childhood.
To savor and share.

…

May all, every child 
receive our full attention.
They deserve no less.

…

Under the same roof,
they grew for twenty years.
Fortunate they were.

By the old oak’s shade,
the remainder of their lives.
Forever grateful.

…

He gets up early 
to make breakfast for the kids. 
His friends don’t know this.

The kids make a mess. 
He swears he’ll never hit them. 
He’d learned the hard way.

…

The kids, off to school. 
Both their parents, off to work. 
Home, pets, quiet now.

…

It’s forest bath time. 
Mom, dad, a kid and a half,
making memories.

…

Family of six,
frolicking in the cool surf.
Barefooted joy, fun.

…

Family of three.
Two humans, a cherished cat.
All shy introverts.

…

Grandpa takes a nap.
The puppy sleeps at his feet,
dreaming alongside.

They are moving back.
Closer to grandma, uncle.
Grandpa would be glad.

…

They’re heading back home,
with swollen legs, feet, eyes, hearts.
They hope it’s worth it.

…
Good sons and daughters,
good grandsons and granddaughters.
They do what they can.

…

Green Grannies Goods gals, 
repurposing with purpose, 
all for a good cause.

…

The new mother grins
when visiting the cradle,
feeling most grateful.
