Goodwill Overflowing

Praise be to the tranquil home Where care and amity abide Like a well-worn book or favorite poem In whose members we confide And whose values are our guide Ill-fated is the raging home Where resentment and cruelty reign Like an outcast always bound to roam Doomed to empty constant pain Where no glimmer of will remain Blessed is our home within Where resides a treasure glowing Without temptation need or sin Just eternal pure love glowing And goodwill overflowing Written 2/22/22

Gosh, this is superb, Robert. See you on the winner's podium soon! Just love the content, the form - the harmonious blend of the two. FAVE time for me! Kudos, Gershon

Good writing here, Rob, as usual. I see this one rising near to the top in Emile's contest. I kept thinking "what a wonderful place to be" while I was reading it. The contrast was well done, too.
