The Joy of Family

The joy of family never palls
Not all's plain sailing, there are squalls
But the joy of knowing one belongs
Remains the theme of many songs.

At one remove from life's fast pace
A photograph with happy face
Of Isabella perched with Gran
Brings joy in spades as nought else can!

These family photos bring us close;
I regularly receive a dose
Of niece and nephew – a cute pair
They make me wish that I were there!

Though the generation gap is wide
Isabella and Gran side by side
Reflect a very special bond
A moment captured, warm and fond.

At 96, Gran beams with pride
While Isabella turns aside
Caught once again in camera lens;
What an audience-pleaser, friends!

This cute, endearing cameo
Imparts a very special glow
So Auntie, who lives far away,
Can share this scene – it makes her day!
