A Poem of Thanksgiving for Long Distance Caregivers

Poet Karen Lewis. Image by Cindy Strickland

This poem was written by my sister,  the poet Karen Lewis, in honor of families who love each other across the miles.

The portrait of my family was created by my sister, the photographer Cindy Strickland.

I send this out to all the families who are loving each other everywhere, through thick and thin!

The Giving

~Karen Lewis

Thanks

the giving of family

across the miles we leap

to land in each others’ arms

and hearts

wrapping

ourselves in days of

laughter and moments

a knowing beyond

the things we are not

to every piece of who we are

thankful

to love

and be loved

for ALL that we are

the giving of family

Thanks
