Relationships

When people speak of relationships,
So much springs to mind!
What do you think of when you hear this word?
Is it the connections made by being kind?

Perhaps you think of family -
Parents, siblings and such.
Or maybe you imagine a new romance
Where love will grow so much.

Another idea of course
Is that special bond with pets.
You worry for them as you would family
When they have to visit the vets.

A relationship can also be
The connection between two things.
It can be the awe that beauty inspires
And the joy this often brings.

When history seems to repeat itself,
A congruence of circumstances,
The results are related to the choices
We make when we take chances.

So whatever relationships mean to you,
We see them everywhere.
But I'm sure all will agree that the most significant ones
Are the relationships that involve our care.

Marikate Kingston Date: 12/6/2021 7:23:00 PM This was nice to read. I read it to my sister over the phone. It's so clever, and true. So many different kinds of relationships in people's lives. I have a love /hate relationship with deer who visit my flowers in the spring. Tee hee.
