A day of respite,
from the troubles of yesterday,
a moment with loved ones,
to show how they brighten
your way.
It’s the silence,
that follows a thoughtful meal,
the looks of contentment,
that need no words
of hurray.
A warm laugh,
followed by a loving touch,
for jokes heard too often
but that sound like new,
on this day.
The world so different,
but filled with selfless love
my wish is for joyful sounds,
keep on coming,
you way.
