Lillies In Family Threads Poem by John Sensele

Serenades of caskets my world shakes
Sights of morgues I can't thread
In loving eyes a heart breaks

Memories in fond families don't fade
A meal shared, a smile dared, a touch felt
When loving memories made the grade

In spaces where love dwelt
Binding hearts ever closer
With family matters dealt

In anniversary milestones celebrated
Smiles booming, solutions found
When progress for members accelerated

On the ground
In sitting rooms, bed rooms
Where joys flew all around

Growing egos
Boosting confidence
Diminishing challenge cargos

In everybody's soul nurturing emotional intelligence
As family bonds grew tighter
In tandem with diligence

In moods meandering lighter
As each member grew in age
Perceiving matters brighter

Opening a new page at each stage
The family negotiates
To grow happier with each gauge

Each family member appreciates
When bodies grow strong
A thought of harm depreciates

Families a happy song singing
Wishes every child happy birthday
Congratulations everywhere ringing

When smiles see the light of day
And congratulations visit families everyday.
