FAMILY & LOVE

Hopefully,
You will get this chance,
Sitting there across or aside someone you’ve known for
Years.
What will you see in them?
What will you ask them?
Will you notice the changes that have taken place?
Will you ask them,
About what you see?
Surely you can do that for them,
And for you.
We are blessed to be together,
To have sung songs and be welcomed back,
Time and again,
Forgiving ourselves and each other for silly transgressions and false roads travelled.
There is nothing else in life more relevant,
Than this too brief time we spend together,
Reminding ourselves in the rituals that bind us,
Of what the words mean,
Family and love.
