A family gathering

A family gathering, hearts entwined,

Laughter echoes, soft and kind.

The scent of dinner fills the air,

A warmth that only love can share.

Around the table, faces bright,

Generations shining in the light.

Children's voices rise in song,

While elders smile, where they belong.

The stories flow, both old and new,

Of days gone by and dreams in view.

Hands held tight, a silent grace,

Time stands still in this embrace.

The kitchen hums with care and cheer,

As memories mix with every year.

The little ones, so full of glee,

Whisper of what they hope to be.

Laughter spills, the wine is poured,

Each moment cherished, never ignored.

A touch, a hug, a knowing glance,

In this place, we take our chance.

To share, to grow, to simply be,

A family strong, a tapestry.

The evening ends, but hearts remain,

Until we gather once again.
