LOVE IS…
I realize I’ve been truly blessed
My journey is yet complete
But with God on my side
And the love of family
I will overcome, one trial at a time
Love is …my father’s hug
My mother’s kiss on the forehead
My brothers’ teasing
My sisters’ laughing
My nephews’ playing ball
My nieces’ dancing
My daughter’s tiny ‘lil hands
Love is …memories
Of Sunday morning worship
At the ‘lil gray church
The house we grew up in
Family dinners at Thanksgiving
Christmas wrapping all over
The living room floor
Love is …moments
Moments that are simply unforgettable
Like graduation and weddings
The birth of a new addition
Like Charms declaring she’s pregnant with twins
And Ian strutting 28th Street in ‘50s clothing
Moments!
When I recall
I realize I’ve been truly blessed
My journey is yet complete
But with God on my side
And the love of family
I will overcome, one trial at a time
Love is …the strength to face tomorrow.
Life lesson learned through personal experience: No family is perfect. We disagree, have miscommunications, don’t speak on a daily basis but when one falls ill the whole gang pulls together and for that I’m grateful. They are the annoying individuals that give you criticism and support all in one sentence. BLESSED.
