Le Voyage Magnifique

Family Life

Aromas from the kitchen feed
the bonds of family,
as Mama starts to blend and knead
the dough for baking spree.

When stench of baby's diaper
alerts her in the night,
she soothes her cranky customer
without a speck of spite.

When our creative spirits bloom,
the sticky fingerprints
adorn the walls of ev'ry room
with hue of peppermints.

We thank the Lord for all of these
and many more fond memories.
