My family, not grand but warm and bright, Bathed in faith, trust, love and long lasting light With my spouse the linchpin, the centre stage, A shining grand-daughter, eight years of age, The apple of eye of the family, A daughter-in-law, teaching happily, Elder son dipped in programming passion, A young one, with management attraction, With all under my soft supervision, Making four walls a home free from tension.
