Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Kin and Kith

We choose our kith but not our kin
And for the world we’re living in,
Such choices, sometimes helped by luck,
Are great, for with our kin we’re stuck.

Of course, we sometimes do desert
Relationships that cause us hurt
So kin may end up in a break-up
But, with friends, we kith and make up.

L Milton Hankins April 10, 2021 at 10:09 PM Aw, such a sweet poem, Ilene. I love the last line, and it is so true. Often family rifts fester much too long, but we love to make up and revitalize a friendship.
