~in loving memory of Momma~
~love, hope & prayers for brother Jack~
~deepest devotion to my children & grandchildren~
~Family Thanksgiving~
~a basket full of hugs & kisses~
~a piece of cherry pie~
~a warm smile on a cold morning~
~a place to go & cry~
~stories to tell & secrets to keep~
~those kites that refuse to fly~
~holidays at Grandma’s~
~& there’s Grandpa’s knee to ride~
~a symphony of tiny voices~
~pictures hanging on the wall~
~loneliness & happiness~
~bathtubs in the hall~
~beginnings & birthdays~
~& fires in the fall~
~those letters that say, “I miss you~
~I miss you most of all”~
~all the fourth of Julys exploding~
~& when there’s a scraped-up knee~
~magick kisses chase the pain away~
~& cats up in the tree~
~new shoes & hand-me-downs~
~those brand new glasses, “I can see!”~
~fighting & loving & loving & fighting~
~the past that’s the past of “me”~
~bicycles & training wheels~
~& time gets in the way~
~fairy tales & teeth under pillows~
~that place where the old dog lays~
~special seats to sit & blankets to hold~
~report cards & bright sunny days~
~little pockets full of bugs & bolts~
~picnics & camping & weekends away~
~where some friends belong & some are just friends~
~all kinds of neat stuff to share~
~noses & roses & photograph poses~
~everyone’s favorite chair~
~countless messes made by “Mister No One”~
~the search for the three-legged teddy bear~
~pennies in couches, pencils & cookies~
~the feeling: there’s always someone who cares~
~it’s you I’m really talking about~
~& the others I’d like to see~
~what we are is what it really means~
~to be part of a family~
~I guess drifting apart is natural~
~the way Gods intend it to be~
~to be apart and a part, full circle~
~is to be part of a family~
~we all must grow in our own direction~
~surely we must strive to be free~
~but ever so often we should meet & remember~
~what it means to be family~
~it is you I’m really talking about~
~the pieces of you that are me~
~the pride I feel in the sharing~
~being part of a family~
