At the blink of an eye, 
Life moves us from 
Bliss to Sorrow,
Give to borrow.

Ever-changing,
Delivering us to another place, 
To another destination,
From another space.

Requiring us
To reflect;
To sense what we haven’t sensed before;
To absorb what is around us.

Resulting in us 
Seeing through things, 
Around things,
Inside things.

Discovering
Our real worth,
What we’re made of,
And what we’ve become.

All the pieces are here, 
Our family’s fabric 
Sewn tightly together, 
Sinewy and strong.

New and old blended together.
Year in year out, life gets better.
