Family Ties

Some wear conservative, while some wear liberal, some for Trump, while some for Clinton, some are Catholic or Protestant while some are Jewish, some are carefree, while others are prudent, some just getting hitched, while some growing leery, some newly born, still others are old and weary, some have good paying jobs, while others are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling, some have excellent health, while others are dealing with different health issues under their shirts and belts, some can hold a conversation with confidence and ease, while others tend to drink to feel more of a sweet release, some meeting for weddings and funerals by flying out, some still go by driving the long arduous route, when we have family reunions we don't always see eye to eye, but still and all with love foremost we'll always have family ties.

Variety is, indeed, the spice of life. So long since I thought of family gatherings. Felt good to revisit.
