Family

Smiles that look oddly familiar
surround me at dinner
Some of us have gained a few
and some of us got thinner
Jokes and stories from the past
make us all feel like a winner.
You've got my eyes,
Is that my walk?
 Never noticed before
 we had the same Cadence
when we talk.

Being with family 
In good times and bad 
Makes you remember 
Just what you have
 Makes you feel grateful 
For good or for bad 
 Cherish the moments 
They flee fast and free 
These are your people 
Strange as they may be 

These are the ones 
You call family
