Observations

While daydreaming through the park One day, I came upon a scene Children harassing an elderly man Times changed, they’re so mean. Don’t they know or even care That one day, they’ll be that man Then they’ll think about what they did And regret not offering him a hand. Further down the path I went Noticed some families by a stream Blankets and food sprayed about Pictures of perfection, what a scene! A child running with a kite The father, there, just standing by Ready to jump if the child cried Allowing growth, the child to fly. Two different scenes I saw this day And was able to come to a conclusion; The family unit is strong and sound And provides without confusion. Questions, at times, we may all have, But family is there for us in every way Offering, teaching and guiding us well Making us look forward to each new day. A future they give us, with morals to use So, we all can make better choices. Stand up today and thank your family Let them hear your loving voices. Give back today, what tomorrow may not allow. Always be grateful for that opportunity, the time. One day they may be gone, but you will have learned That through your family, your life will be fine.
