My Family

They stand around making awkward conversation,
Trying not to let the silence fall,
As I sit I wonder what has changed,
Why is it I don't recall?,
I remember a time when we would talk and laugh,
It seemed like it would never end,
Someone always had a story to tell,
I always brought a friend,
My life hasn't changed all that much,
We still see each other every year,
It's harder now as we grow older,
Every time theirs more fear,
I have so much love for all of them,
If I didn't I wouldn't have a heart,
I want to tell them oh so much,
But I never know where to start,
I will say I love you, 
YOUR MY FAMILY!
