Unwritten

So much is left unwritten

In this story called our life

Especially the in between times

Ordinary everyday thin lines;

Holidays are memorialized

In photos posted in our minds

Births, weddings, deaths

Scribbled in the diary of time;

I miss the family moments

Throughout my one life

Imprinted in my aging memory

Yes I can still remember

Though remembering is bittersweet;

My children are still with me

Their being adults is different

Moments in time are chosen

To make those common threads

That bind us together as family;

This Easter I wish I had a magic wand

So all of my family could dine together

Even grandma and a grandpa I never met

Laughing, sharing, and caring

For another moment in time
