Sunday Smiles

Caruso blaring on the radio       Heavenly smells throughout the house       Old men smoking cigars outside         Babies crying for their mothers        Aunt Rose playing the piano out of key       My Uncles drinking whiskey and talking loudly       My Grandmother smiling and humming an old song        My cousins outside at the swing         Television always on full volume         Sunday afternoon`s at Gana`s          I remember how much it meant to her        All the family under one roof        Now I understand why she always smiled       On Sunday

I love this nostalgia of family. I have several poems on this topic too. Well, I can see that your style, though different, is very appealing to me. And the reason is because you always are succinct. You do not drag on and on in that paragraph style. Thanks for that. You have just become my newest favorite poet!
