Time Spent With Family

Time spent with family
By Michelle Morris

Not everyone gets to be a parent 
Not everyone gets to have a family
But each moment we are given
Is a blessing unto itself 

We celebrate Family Day 
We celebrate Mother's Day
We celebrate Father's Day 
We celebrate Children's Day 

But, it's also important to remember
That we should try to celebrate the moments
Every single day
For time can never be relived

Enjoy the moments with loved ones
Time spent with family is never wasted
If we have the opportunity to grow older
We'll look back at those times with fondness

In the end, it's all the little things
That we miss the most
Because all of those moments add up
And they become the bonds between us

Not everyone gets to have loved ones
But if we have them, we are blessed
And we can be grateful for those relationships
They are part of who we are

Our souls are ignited by the warmth
Our hearts beat with love and joy
We stay safe and sound together 
We are blessed by light and healing

So, enjoy the moments with loved ones
Because time spent with family is precious
Ours lives become so much better
And that love continues beyond worlds
