Changing Times

Throughout the years, families face changes; some are known, others not until they happen...

Seedling to bloom - a sunflower on a sturdy stalk holds its head high

Fields of cotton spread out of sight, waiting for harvest

Tantalizing smells of bread baking waft from the outdoor kitchen

A flamboyant rider and a magnificent stallion appears

Reminder of a alabaster statue, sleek, displayed in a Roman chamber

A stately woman, a young boy in her arms, steps out on the porch

He gracefully dismounts and hurries to greet them, drawing his family

Into his arms, “I have waited impatiently for this moment.”

Tears in her eyes, “We have missed you too,” his son reaches out to him

“The cook has prepared a variety of festive dishes for your return."

Family enters their spacious home, unaware of the changing times to come
