Gentle Ways, Golden Days

Written: May 2nd, 2026, for a contest sponsored by Len Gasun **************** If a house is brimming with lovely delight, where laughter lights the day, and love is light. Grandkids gather, giftings glimmer of grace, their winsome wonder warming all the space. Good children, grown, still gentle in their ways, bring balm to burdens, light to lingering days; A family’s fervor—full, familiar, true— turns simple hours into something new. In this sweet symphony of kin and cheer, life’s luster deepens, dazzling year by year.
