Reconnecting

Flew down south to visit kin;
Two long years is what it’s been.
Thought we’d give this trip a spin – 
Glad we got to do it.

Saw some sibs, an aunt, a cuz,
In-laws, too and one who was,
Plus two nephews, most abuzz
With shock – nobody knew it.

After springing the surprise,
We sat around ‘neath sunny skies
To laugh and chat and realize
That no one really blew it.

Since blood connections run real deep,
They’re worth the cost they take to keep
So I am glad we took the leap,
At last, to rendezvous it.

Ilene, I hope this is written about a recent experience. You are so right, and it was particularly wonderful that you were able to do the trip. Nothing clears the air like getting together with family and friends for a sit-down "'neath sunny skies."
