same old love,
in solitude.
Time to go home for family supper.
Those days were joyful. never forgotten.
Time passes on,
same true love,
New car,
Clothes.

So bold
Rise and fall
Then rise again
From soil like a bud that blooms after fall...

A 
day with
family
at nearby stream, 
devouring mom's home-made delicacies;
Fun with cool water creeking, paper boats, 
boating, tire-swing
moments of
gleeful
joy

My
brother
swings with glee.
Dear family
looks on smilingly from our picnic spot.

Pleasure hums in playing children’s voices.
Cool splash of blue -
river run;
summer 
fun.

Nudges of bright
family picnics, boating, wading, trills*

His coming home
from the war.

but
a man
returned home.
The people cheered,
family and dog joyful while Gran hid !

Long hours spent over the dirty laundry
Mum knew hard work

worthwhile
with

providing
whispers of hope
within the borders of our happy home
