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
