oozes…
family
members partake
savouring love’s freedom around blest trust.

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

a purple heart.

for war’s
end.

Gran told the story of grandpa often-
His coming home
from the war.
Left a

but
