For all of the blue Mondays

That passed in less than a blink

The steps to home remain the same

The memory of where I played

Chasing fireflies through late dusks

And the familiar faces from then to now

The ache of those we miss

Fades into the gratitude

Of togetherness

And the joys of simple comfort

And the love of family

Set our hearts aglow ~ Caroline A. Slee
