The finest of living things

my little family

words from my heart

whispered to the breeze

my soul streams upon

a frequency only yours can find

more and more each day

let me find you new in the sunrise

of this room; sturdy on pillars

weathered from the storm

of forgiven yesterday's

still sturdy still strong

not perfect nor refined

we are simply furnished

in humility and grace

for refinement is in

the threads of love

ours; delicate like

summer rain, so we three

are the finest of living things.

[KWP]

well if that's about your family - it's a lovely lovely thing ... you paint a purity that is not pure but at the same time is pure because it is ingrained and known in the echo's of each. Lucky family XXX
