RETURN...
A coming back to the simple things...
to share the old and new found dreams...
to meet the ones we have not met...
to remember the ones we can't forget...
to see a smile on a loved one's face...
to discuss the changes that have taken place...
to shed a tear because it's been too long...
but mostly to rejoice because we're all back home.


RENEW...
A restoration taking place in the heart of us all...
Laughing at the good times, at least the ones we recall...
blotting out confussion...we will come together in peace...
playing, hoping, caring, laughing...learning how to release...
becoming wiser with years, we invite change...
realizing the importance of family, no one is estranged...


RECOMMIT...
We give ourselves back to one another as sister and brother of the same...
forgetting & forgiving in honor of the ________ name...
Let's give ourselves back to our roots, what our upbringing was based upon...
willing to change yet stay the same...for this is the day of a new dawn.
Let's challenge ourselves to go forth and take this new plight...
That even when we're apart, we're together for we've learned how to unite.

We fight...we play...
we laugh...we cry...
we hurt...we mend...
we smile...we lie...
we hug...we hold...
we embrace...we push away...
we come...we go...
we leave...we stay...
Whatever it is that we may be...
When it's all said and done we're still FAMILY
