Family of Mine

“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.” From “Family Love Quotes”

Fueled with fidelity flames of faithfulness-fervor
Around altruism’s ardor against apathy’s ailment
My family meets, maximizing moments toward meaningful memories
Inspired… invigorated… by parents’ influence
Love-led through the Lord* midst life-lessons’ liberating light...
Yielding young home buddies; yet yearning for yesterdays.

*Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
