A happy family is one blessed by God! <br />Both parents slog all life for their children; <br />And children honor parents, without rod; <br />All walk united en way to Heaven. <br /> <br />A happy family lives in piety; <br />Their home is warm and welcomes everyone; <br />They’re satisfied and live with satiety; <br />There’s time for love, care, work, play, also fun! <br /> <br />A happy family loves its neighbors well; <br />All share their joys, woes, grief and problems too; <br />Their faith in God, their smiling faces tell; <br />With divine aim, all earthly works, they do! <br /> <br />A happy family prays in harmony; <br />God meets their needs of body, soul, money! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 12-1-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-a-happy-family/
