REVISITING FAMILY
How does one define family?
I don’t think any one person can…
because all our families are different
have been…since families first began.
Because each family writes their now chapters
in a story that began long ago…
Because each family is unique
in the way they communicate…and grow.
Because each family writes their own music
discovers their own harmony…their own score…
a symphony of notes and melodies…
added to those that came before.
Because each family paints their own colors
each color plays a part
in blending with the other colors
in the painting of an unfinished work of art.
As you enjoy your family this Christmas
may you see them as a blessing…as a prize…
may you revel in their uniqueness…
whatever their shape or size.
Enjoy this chapter in your life
all the music and art you’re making.
May you always see your family
as beautiful and breathtaking.
May you find joy in every family member
in the way Fate has intertwined you…
and may you ignore the voices of anyone
who tries to redefine you.
