Family
each generation is challenged by circumstance,
by the cards the universe randomly deals
whether in our own make-up,
such as in how efficiently our neurons fire,
what parenting and schooling work to encourage and discourage,
what resources are available, or denied to us,
still the play is up to us:
How do we use the cards in our own hand?
family can be a grounding,
a way to be loved, and then to love ourselves,
to be known, and to know ourselves,
family, like friendship, can be amazing,
still, who we are has to look self in the mirror,
accept who we see, love who we see,
open ourselves to being the best possible us
as we play our cards,
as we hope we get it as right
as the universe allows,
family can give us the love and support we need
to persevere, to endure, to forge the link of our own life,
to be worthy of the links that stretch back before us,
and of the links that can come after,
may we be strong and true to our best,
however the cards fall.
