Remembering When

I remember when I wondered about my heritage; just where it all began Yearning for family I said I'll find them if I can. I remember when Mama passed when I was five my siblings were far-flung. I cried so much I could not see for I was very young. I remember when I grew to be a certain age; determination flourished. There was some information gleaned. I felt hopeful and nourished. I remember when The day my older sister came; walked back into my life. She'd searched also for years it seemed amidst much pain and strife. I remember when The joy we felt was peppered with sad for we were missing others. Never were we able to find two of our younger brothers. I remember when We never gave up hope for them and we still search today. We'll search until we leave this earth; for them we'll always pray. for contest"Remembering When" sponsored by Debra Squyres
