Gift of family unfolds

Relationships healthy and blessed

God’s love covers this home

Leading this grace-filled nest

 

Imperfections reverse tide

Frustrations fill with discontent

God witnesses each tear

Reshaping what is meant

 

Time healing deepest trauma

Days, weeks—sometimes months travel by

God breathes, never silent

Wiping every tear dry

 

Faith speaks, better days ahead

Hope generates from cherished love

God welcomes members home

Blessing life from above
