Families

Families are complex,
For the ties that somehow bind us
Are the ones that go way back 
To all the years that are behind us.

If it’s nature or it’s nurture,
Once to others we’ve connected,
All our lives we’re stuck together,
Or at least that’s what’s expected.

So we celebrate our big events 
And join together, sharing
Bonds reminding us that for these times
We’ve always been preparing.

Nothing beats spending time with family Ilene, we'll have our ups and downs but always make up in the end. Tom
