Through a Stained Glass Window

The child must know the hearth one calls home,
  where comforts round firelight warmth;
  the strength of brothers and little sister innocence,
  mother and father who waltz in evening shade;

The moon is full of adventure and friends life-long ---
  unforgotten....
  their smiles remain many winters past
  and the summers have their promise,
  though we all grieve old friends gone,
  when the house is quiet with memories

I like the pictures seen through this stained glass window, Keith...the warmth of a family gathered together...the memories. A beautiful and touching presentation, tinged with a touch of wistful sadness. #7 Regards // paul
