Family – Thankvember Thirteenth
You
Are part
Of me, and
I, part of you.
History and joy,
And not obligation,
Define our connection.
Each day, I awake with you
Your laughter and sorrow are mine
What matters to you matters to me
Nothing about your life is trivial.
Sometimes, sharing a home with you frustrates
I am learning that I frustrate too.
We are all partners in the dance
Compromising on each step
Negotiating peace
All along the way
With tenderness
And without
I am
Blessed.
It’s a BLOG HOP!
