Family Love
Freedom-bliss around family love prevails
Around caring nurture that our blest home hails...
My heart does thank God for parents' legacy
Instilling compassion, truth, peace, and mercy...
Leading us, their children* with their utmost best
Yielded to divine might toward triumph's crest.
Love-filled, my siblings and I enjoyed life's worth
Optimizing very well --- heaven on earth...
Vanquishing selfishness midst sharing delight
Ever-grateful to extend love in hope's light.
Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Acrostic in couplet as well as rhyme forms.
