Thanks is Giving

What does it mean to have family
                                   and friends;
To me speaks the whole of life.
What could we gain,
less mother and child, brother, wife, in-law and cus'.
These add to our stature, our structure...form family
both sides,
              husband and wife.

We go thru the years
and oft nare stay in touch.
Yet, the heart be lies closeness,
                   not asking the much.

So many times we let distance determine, how much we mean to each other.

What does it mean to have family?
It means we can be loved and missed;
If given the space,
                      we all take our place.
In hearts and minds - rare treasures,
Priceless finds.
These, time lets us brush off and kiss...

I love my family, they mean so much to me.
I cherish that we let,
                   Each ourselves be!
