When a family comes together…even for an afternoon…
and even though the time they share…passes all too soon…
they realize in that moment…a feeling so sublime…
that what they share together…exceeds the bounds of time.
When a family comes together…no matter when…or where
there’s music in their hearts…and magic in the air.
Old memories are shared…while new memories are unfurled
and for that moment…in that family…all is right within the world.
When a family comes together…happiness fills the space
there is joy upon the tongue…and a smile upon the face…
perhaps they all understand…how quickly this will pass…
so they make every effort…to make this moment last…
They eat, they drink, they laugh…they sit down to talk and play.
cherishing every moment…every second of the day…
And when the moment’s over…they hug…then hug some more…
and they linger a little longer than, perhaps, they have before.
And when a family comes together…
how do they capture that perfect family pic?
They smile…they scrunch together…
and they use an extra long selfie stick.
