Family Ties

One response suggests our lives will blossom

While she begins to recognize

Ability toward having all that is worthwhile

In the beat of a drum time happens

Every fiber of her being remains tested for years

Suddenly that moment becomes today

All the yesterdays have slowly drifted by her window

Suggesting Grace might be worth sight

~

A long time ago I can recall a summer of love

I walked hand in hand with you

On a sidewalk we stood with our arms entwined

Showing the world around a love

As forever brief the moment might have been

The light changed and we walked

Know now that our hands did touch our souls

Wishing for truth in a quiet glance

~

We have sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts

Nephews and nieces to enhance

A body of work that is indicative of certain love

When together in still life smiles

Each of our hearts contains moments like that walk

When we were treated with certain love

While the world continued to grow around our hearts

A local spirit lit up our insides

~

Always there is that gesture of need in connecting

Yet occasional storms stir the pot

A relative disorder might test the waters of love

We have ties that forever wound

Our lives in and throughout and near and around

The actions of our mind spill out

Real worlds begin to evolve with similar passions

Then is when we begin to know

~

How far our mind allows support to stray from wise

Can very well determine the outcome of family ties
