And to all a good night...

Happy Holidays!!!

Here's to wishing all my friends
out there in cyber space
a wonderful warm celebrated holiday
filled with much joy, laughter
and warm memories...

Not all the time are we joined
by family members
whether close by or far away...
for whatever the reason
keeping them close in heart
and mind
is all we have
when it seems we have nothing
at all...

Family...
what a shame to have lived so long
and have learned nothing
to grow further apart
by less in numbers...
to have pride and less a memory
to have suffered
shared and alone...
to remain apart by choice
taken for granted the privilege...

Family...
