Michael Degenhardt Poet Acrostic

Family

Friends and relatives; those close in heart
Always there when you need them, or not
Many you see, just at holidays and such
Implying there is love, though you’re apart
Letting you feel the closeness ones can share
Yet, if never meeting, knowing that they still care

            Family is more than just blood and name
       It is those we call our friends and keep close by
          Regardless of whether we even have met them

Carrie Richards July 25, 2008 at 7:43 AM So true. It is so easy for some of us to take for granted our family ties. We are lucky, so lucky, if we have a family to lean on, or to celebrate with, whatever the circumstance. A good reminder! We are also fortunate if we have friends that are like family. Hope you have a bounty of both! Fondly, Carrie
