Brothers, Sisters, Sons and Daughters

Ours shadows are in one another.
We live and breathe as one.
Our hearts beat together.
A beat for a breath, a breath for each beat.


Paths of anger and love keep us together.
Distance is not a barrier, merely a bridge to a heart.
We talk to each other through our tearful eyes.
Eyes that have seen the trials and loves of life.


Playing together, laughing together.
Pride to see each other grow.
An extreme joy to see our families together.
Our children playing, adults talking freely.


Changing lives, changing directions pull on us.
Dragging us toward new destinies.
Leading us away from our childhoods.
Leading us to new callings, callings that touch our hearts.


But we do not forget.
We never fail to invoke the word, family.
Families that remember are families that are endless.
Endless in their family bonds that do not die.
